Speedo1968 Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 I understand that MACRO in KK is empting all its shelves. Staff are being laid off or offered "new contracts'. CP is taking over and will introduce lines from its own suppliers. At least its not another cassava plantation ! Any one heard the same ??? P.S. Shame there is no supermarket war here as there has been in the UK, the biggies couldn't compete with 'real' good quality at a low price and totally different brands. Mind you much of the produce did come out of Eastern Europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prakhonchai nick Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 CP is Makro!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bangkok Barry Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 I was there on Thursday and ALL the shelves were absolutely packed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkyarddog Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 Fear Op CP bought Makro from The Dutch firm that owned them two years ago maybe little more. It was the largest business tranaction in the history of Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maoro2013 Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 CP seem to have made some changes. Although some lines, maybe many, have been replaced with their own brands. I am talking about changes in Buriram. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deepinthailand Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 There today no sign of an empty shelf anywhere more staff than I've ever seen there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
recycler Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 CP took over Makro in April/May 2013, changes have been made already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torrens54 Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 Product Choices and service have taken a dive ever since the takeover BUT... Prices have risen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bangkok Barry Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Speedo1968 - where did you get the info from? Bearing in mind that CP already own Makro (so if you got the info from an employee they should have known that), and that Makro sell an infinitely wider range than a normal CP store, I can't see how they would fill such a huge place with their own food produce.

tomwct Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 When you corner a market you raise prices. Nothing new here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
55Jay Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Old news. Have seen changes at Makro since CP acquired it. The most obvious and uncomfortable one at the Makro we use is not more air conditioning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
