Popular Post EBlair48 Posted February 11, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted February 11, 2014 I knew they had a fresh market of sorts operating in the parking lot soon after the fire but they now really have just about every department going, it's just all mostly under tents in true SuperCheap style.It even seemed a bit cooler with all the ventilation. Parking is limited close to the entrance but can be had in the side lot further away. The pharmacy is operating under A /C ( in the old restaurant section that is next to the road) it isn't quite as extensive as before but I found what I needed. Even the liquor and beer dept is functioning under AC, though prices have gone up a bit. ( go left after entering) Didn't have too much time to explore it fully, so cannot say if the computer section is going yet, but it's nice to have it back. You can see the new building going up out back, looks to be humongerous. We'll need a new map. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EBlair48 Posted February 12, 2014 Author Share Posted February 12, 2014 I can't say for sure as I was on limited time and didn;t see it all, but as it seems al lthe departments had their own tent areas, from at least what I saw, I would bet yes. To the OP: Is the hardware section open? Just to reiterate this is mostly in the parking lot using tents, tarps and some portions of the unburnt original structure, the new building is far from done and I'm afraid th eprices will no longer be Super Cheap, the wine was about 30 % more than before, but still cheaper even than Tesco-really can't expect it to stay the same, but it will probably keep a loyal base of customers for the convenience factor of getting everything at one place for a decent price.

Guest Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Just visited the location yesterday. The constructions of the new Super Cheap building is on the way. When asking from the workers, when the new building would be ready, three of them said in 2 months and one said in 3 months. Few pictures.. Burned old structure New Super Cheap in construction Temporary pharmacy Fruit section They even had few marketing girls working on the temporary shop. I wanted to include this as pretty girls with smiles are always good for the heart and mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LivinginKata Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 I can see that SuperCheap are maintaining their low cost warehouse look. That exterior shot looks just so cheap and ugly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 I guess it's part of the brand. If it looks cheap, it must be cheap. SC, even the small ones, offers volume discounts for at least some products. Is there a discount for beers and what is the amount which needs to be purchased to get the discount? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehaigh Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 (edited) I can see that SuperCheap are maintaining their low cost warehouse look. That exterior shot looks just so cheap and ugly. a million times nicer looking than the old one though. did they ever figure out what caused the fire? and how many Burmese got deep fried?

They have good and cheap pet care products that work as well The vets and pet stores wont sell them more interested in overpriced products with big profit margins Edited May 4, 2014 by nedkellylives Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grumpyoldman Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Watch out Chalong circle as the masses of salaeng riding farangs from Rawai descend on Phuket town upon hearing this news. I don't think even the "salaeng riding farangs" are stupid enough to ride them all the way to that particular SC. Especially not now that there is the mini one across from Asia Bar, that is actually (having been told last night at a bbq) not so mini. Anyway, good try at a dig and how is the piss-pot of the island Patong treating you patongphil? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a quite large store open 24 hours with a good range of products No pharmacy or pet medical products at present but that could change Mrs bought a portable radio for the garden there which she could not find anywhere else At the supercheap pharmacy by the phuket weekend market i bought a microlife blood pressure monitor for 1996 baht, price one at other pharmay's and you will see how good their prices are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EBlair48 Posted May 4, 2014 Author Share Posted May 4, 2014 Not at all familiar with old town, next time you go, or anyone, please-can you see if they have K 1 powder ( no, not jelly but powder, it's for fly larvae) It's s the same as Nagasunt made by Bayer , but that product is no longer being produced .

Valentine Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 I wonder if some locals stay away being fearful of ghosts. Despite all the assurances that no lives were lost 100 Burmese workers did not return to their jobs. Call me pessimistic if you want but for the Burmese it is not easy to get documents to enable them to work in Thailand, it costs them quite a bit of money & once in the employ of someone they cannot easily switch jobs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EBlair48 Posted May 15, 2014 Author Share Posted May 15, 2014 ^ I agree and furthermore have always found it deeply suspicious that fire happened on a night with vitually no wind. Can you imagine what a 20 knot wind would have done to the area? Sure was lucky, yep luck-eee. Anyway, moving on... today SuperCheap was moving into the new digs and so of course I simply strode on in and had a look about . IT IS HUGH-MONGOUS covering several acres (predict flooding on the the road in heavy downpours) and looks to be entirely air conditioned which wil explain the now up to 40 % increases in prices from Pre Fire ( PF- which can now be heralded as a historical benchmark on par with Christ's birthday ) It's official- Tesco has cheaper prices All the workers are using the half way and even quarter-way decent carts so had to retreat to the parking lot and hang out a bit to get a cart that moved forward. Of course when I left it in an aisle to make a dash off- side for two minutes, my few items were placed upon a shelf and some Mother- F... took it. I never did find another cart after that so needed to make three separate cash outs and trips back to the car. Oh the life of a dutiful consumerist.. SuperCheap or now SuperPang...

It was situated closely to foodcourt by the left side of old building. Food Court place was never re-opened. There are plenty of cooked food stalls along the front of the new place but no sit down areas. A shame as one could get good cheap meals in there which may have suited our Phuket Town Moaner! ????
