Excellent, maybe you could post some pics, or maybe Dave is already on the case.

Thanks for the heads up.

Party time indeed - we all need to buy food from time to time.

This sounds like something between a convenience store and a supermarket.

If they do well there, hopefully it will help to revitalize Pantip Plaza.

I am so excited about this and can hardly wait until it opens.  Another supermarket/minimarket, wow.

The sarcasm aside there's no decent semi-supermarket in that part of town if you live close buy. There's Rimping across the river but that's it. Haven't been into it yet but if it's half-way to a supermarket (say bigger than a Tesco Lotus express) it's definitely welcomed.

Oh darn, when I saw that the latest post to this thread was from you, Dave, I was S-O-O looking forward to photos.  I caught sight of the front of the store during a recent songthaew ride in that part of time and I was so happy for all my friends in Peaks Gardens, Twin Peaks, etc.

[Chicog]

I'd be quite happy having a Big C round the corner from my hotel (DuangTawan).

 

There's so much empty space in that mall they could almost put a full one there.

 

Sorry about your bike Dave, but thanks for trying anyway!

I called in this morning it is well stocked and far bigger than a Tesco express. Good for the area I would think.

[lordblackader]

Went there this evening, turns out it's a Big C Market, so between the small store and really big store and all you need to know is that it's a full blown supermarket with everything you need, be it they had a limited range of cheese

 

Given the price difference between Big C and Rimping we'll be doing most of our shopping there from now on, even a 4 pack of Chang was 117 baht vs 140 baht at 7-Eleven

so many people post inaccurate information. there is not a big price difference between Rimping and Big C. in fact many items are cheaper at Rimping than Big C., just like many things are cheaper at Rimping compared to Lotus. but there are some things cheaper at Big C, and that same item may be more or less at Lotus... basically it's a wash, prices are all very similar.

Rubbish and I've been shopping at both for years. Rimping has always been more expensive, be it that it has higher quality goods (say with vegetables) accounting for a lot of the difference. If you averaged it out it would go expensive to cheap: Rimping > Tops > Tesco Lotus > Big C
