Not much makes sense in this country, but every corner store around here sells beer all the hours they are open, I mean Buddhist holidays, the anniversary of Elvis's death, anytime, nothings sacred.

Here too. 6 in the morning 'till midnight. 7 days a week. It's good. Mind you the main bootle shop is run by the wife of the boss cop.

yup have had to do that a few times. Last time the wife did it. She found her wine at 2:30 at Foodland, they said wait until 5pm. She went ballistic. Simply told the girl to get a case. No can sell I was told, get the freaking manager. Pushed the case up to check out. Gone we were in 5 minutes.

Thai run/Thai owned/ Family are strong in the village and local goverment. Family are hard working people and the village really needs a decent store. we allready grow lots of fresh veg and have fish dams to supply some of the fresh food.

I am going to start a thread so people can read the rules of this forum.. Chitty what was your point in bumping a 12 year old thread? To let snubs know how many places he can buy liquor and at what hour?

we have rules?
A friend of mine almost bought a 7/11 franchise in Indonesia, despite the country having FAmily Mart, IndoMaret and 7/11s every 100 metres in Jakarta. Thankfully he never did, as 7/11 lost their licence and pulled out of the country altogether.
May have changed a bit since 2010-11 when a mate's wife had a 711 on Beach Road, but at the time he said that income before overheads and taxes etc was around 47% of gross profit, which varies due to high/low margin items. After that there's no end of regs, checks, seminars, performance tests and promos that the franchisee is obliged to pay for, leaving them effectively little more than managers for the bigger corpn which tbf allows them to turn a fair profit on their investment. Head office know to the satang how much each store is taking, and if it's 'too much' they won't hesitate to open another store nearby since the smallprint allows them to do virtually as they please.
Though it may have changed in the past decade, the initial contract then was for 10 years extendable for a further ten by mutual consent, and after the full 20 years it's goodbye.
