Big C, a Bangkok-based grocery and general merchandising retailer, has commenced construction of its first hypermarket in Laos, with plans to open its doors next year.
Thailand’s second-largest hypermarket operator has operations in four countries, namely Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos. The new hypermarket which will open in Laos is part of the company’s expansion plan for the region.
According to an insider, the Big C hypermarket in Laos will be specially adapted to the Lao market, with products ranging from canned foods, fresh meat and vegetables, appliances, and clothes. The hypermarket will showcase products sourced locally and imported products from Thailand, China, Vietnam, and European countries.
