Sad part is that a lot of direct jobs will dissapear, together with the knock on to the loss of supply chain jobs to.
And it isn't finished there either , might wake a few guys up however.

Small shopholders might complain, but Tesco, Big C, Carrefour & Makro have improved the grocery shopping in Thailand, as has 711 in a different way.
But in Thailand, Carrefour is the weakling of the big four. Sure, it has some lines that several people appreciate because of it's Gallic origins but it can't overall compete with the others on price. Basically, it is getting out while it's behind.
I'd quite like to see a Japanese company buy them out actually.
Villa and Foodland provide all at fair prices here in Bangers.
Tesco and Lotus have been partners since the first store opened. There was no Lotus store that was stand alone before.Originally Posted by dotcom
Perhaps because Tesco management gave back control to local Lotus management several years ago after they helped set them up and point them in the right direction.Originally Posted by PaulBunyon
I like Foodland, certainly it was my favourite in Pattaya. Villa- I've only been to the one in Suk Soi 7 and I thought it was expensive. Great place to buy wine & cheese though.Originally Posted by 12Call
But even here in rural Ubon I've got Tesco, Big C & Makro in easy reach. And HomePro, Index and so on. Carnt complain.
Villa is for the thinks you crave. Other than that it is ridiculously overpriced.
I thought that the 'Lotus' part of the company was a subsidiary of Charoen Pokphand Foods (CP Company) and that they sold their shares in Tesco Lotus (Thailand) in 2003, and that they were only now represented in name.Originally Posted by filch
A little taste of France leaves the Kingdom, I'll miss them but Wal Mart is one hell of a downgrade for gourmets.
Villa, agree, but Foodland ???? Last time I went there, I bought just a pot of mustard because I didn't want to have completely wasted my time going there.
Near where I stay in Bangkok, the food mart in the basement of The Mall Ngam Wong Wan is definitively the best option.
The things we regret most is the things we didn't do
I noticed carrefour staff doing a silly dance at 12pm similar to that of M&K. They all looked delighted! What's the point to this?
What they've decently priced cheese? Damn I didn't even know that...
Never liked Carrefour much, seems like a Tesco clone - both pretty uninteresting. Heavily processed foods and other items from the three mega-conglomerates Unilever, Nestle and P&G (unless some of them merged by now, didn't keep up to date). The prices are usually not as low as you might think either, e.g. the local supermarket is often cheaper.
Would hate to see Wallmart come to Thailand. If they did Thais would find out what bad working conditions are.
You overvalue yourself and the expat market . . .Originally Posted by harrybarracuda
It is quite simple: Don't buy it if you think it is overpriced
that would be tops fresh mart.Originally Posted by Perota
I think they were stupid to announce the fact they are leaving in the press. They should have hired someone like Goldman-Sachs to look for a buyer.
Now customers will be reluctant to buy big ticket electronics from them for fear of having difficulties with returns.
OOPS. Missed that one too.
TOPS outsourced their food ops to Royal Ahold about 15 years ago.
Central Robinson's biggest competitor is the Mall Group.
You might be right but I woud like proof.
btw The MALL Bangkapi has one of the nicest grocery stores around.
An older mall that has been very well looked after.
Same as Emporium & Paragon.
I find TOPS to be a very nice compromise.
Like their meat. Like their fruit. Buy neither at Tesco or Carrefour.
