    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.

Would it not be better if they sold during school hour and stopped once school was out. That would make some sense

    do you think it has anything to do with you?

    No why would it ?. I should go check a couple of other 7/11 in the area to see if they have different timings. It could be the old I forgot to take the chain off the door but I wont let farang know that I will tell him it doesnt open to 6

    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.

    True. That what I normally do couple of cases of booze. problem solved. The law does not work. We just buy more to bypass it. A lovely loophole it is.

    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 willing to give the wife a shot at it and if it dont work I guess I get to move into a bigger motorcycle workshop.
    So the farang will have nothing to do with it

    Also, they are always negative on there, and it might not be as terrible idea as they make out, do your own due diligence.

    Tv seems to attract negative people in much the same way honey attracts bees.

    That may be the solution for Rigger. I think there is a brewery in Khon Kaen.

    Just like the rumble strips they paint on the road to make people drive slower...well, if you speed up you won't feel them.

    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.
