Which chain store/food outlet from home would you like to see in Pattaya?

[champers]

There's no shortage already, of course, but I'll start it off with Harry Ramsdens (fish & chips chain restaurant), just as long as they sold babbies eds.

[Rajab Al Zarahni]

Chain store: John Lewis.

Supermarket: Booths or Waitrose.

[jwdub]

Easy, Trader Joe's

[NickJ]

Costco.....with the same inventory and prices........

[wpcoe]

Fry's Electronics and/or B&H Photo

Not my home country, but: IKEA.

I agree with the posters above that Trader Joe's and Costco would be nice.

[loppylugs1]

Easy ,for the eastern US gourmet food experts Piggly Wiggly

[Nice Boyd]

[Jingthing]

GOOD VIBRATIONS

On the food front, I would love to see a QDOBA Mexican chain food place open (rather than Chipotle).

[ThaiBob]

Costco, Chipotle, Five Guys, Panda Express, InN Out, Bhphoto, BestBuy. They can add items for the local market but no subtractions. Costco all beef foot long hotdogs with free refills for 65 baht!

[Upnotover]

Nando's please!

50 baht in San Francisco,65 baht for pizza a slice,$10.00 for whole pizza,and include the free food samplers also

[Nice Boyd]

Taco Bell or Jack in Box, for cheap thrills

[petermik]

Aldi

[Boycie]

Any UK supermarket with their wine and beer promotions!

[NOC]

In and Out Burger!

[tolsti]

Nando's please!

very surprised they haven't come here... Probably chicken supply problems. Scrawny Thai chickens won't do.

[Don Mega]

Walmart.

[Tolley]

Easy, Trader Joe's

I was in NY a couple of weeks ago and tried Chipotle.

The serving size would feed a family of six in Thailand.

I couldn't even finish half of it.

Food was average to okay. I certainly wouldn't be racing back for it thou.

I did like the Burger store Bare Burgers. I wouldn't mind seeing one of those in Thailand.

[lou62]

Would love all of them (I'm English) but I'm all for choice the more places we have to go the better.

Some may not know it but Cracker Barrel would do well.

[avidflyer]

QDOBA Mexican chain food would be nice but I suppose Jack in the Box would need to establish its self first. Carl's Jr. has a nice jalapeno burger, BTW.

[Pattaya28]

M & S food hall

Waitrose

[peterrabbit]

Aldi, M & S, B & Q.

[uty6543]

None. I was very disappointed when I first saw a Tesco here although they are an excellent retailer. I came to Thailand to enjoy a different life style with different foods.

There's no IKEA in the north. Many would like to see it, but nothing....

[chicowoodduck]

NONE!!! Why the hell would we ever want that shi* here in LOS....food stuff of the devil.......???

[Jimbo]

febo from holland

[edd]

Any UK supermarket BUT with the UK stock.

NOT Watered down range.

I'm afraid places like Tesco must get a Thai to decide what to import into Thailand.

WRONG.

Just copy what you sell in the UK.

We are the same people and Taste's here as their.

This is not Rock science.

So UK/US Supermarkets pull your finger out.

[martin26]

Fortnum and Mason or Harrods

[ThaiWai]

In-n-Out

[lgking]

Hooters is already here I believe in Phuket. Pattaya would be a natural.

Aldi is the 'parent' company of Trader Joe's, but run nowhere as well as Trader's. Every time I visit an Aldi in Europe, I am highly disappointed. And British retailers such as Waitrose, Tesco, M & S...forget it. 50 years behind the times. When it comes to retail...nobody does it better than the Yanks.
