Bangkok, December 16, 2022 – Tops, a food business under Central Retail, continues its growth trajectory, demonstrating its position as Thailand's number one food retailer. The company is set to open five new branches by the end of 2022, unveiling its first standalone community store following a major rebranding of Tops Nakhanivas Ladprao under the concept of Urban Scape, creating a shopping atmosphere reminiscent of a neighborhood store across an area of over 4,000 square meters. This new location targets a high-potential area to support the growth of the central Ladprao zone, aiming to become a new community hub that meets the needs of families, in line with the concept of Every Day DISCOVERY. The store will feature over 18,000 quality products from around the world, along with popular eateries such as Starbucks, the renowned Amphawa restaurant known even in Malaysia, the legendary Ko Aun Bao shop that has been a staple in Hat Yai for over 30 years, Thirachai Grilled Chicken, Kamnueng, a shop for freshly made Thai desserts from natural ingredients, and the popular Fuku Matcha bubble tea shop, among others.

Mr. Stefan Koome, CEO of Central Retail Food Group stated, "After announcing the consolidation of our food businesses under the Tops brand with the concept of Every Day DISCOVERY, we continue to expand our branches while modernizing our store formats to suit each area. This approach addresses the evolving needs and lifestyles of our customers. In December, Tops will open five new branches in four provinces: Bangkok with branches at Supalai Veranda Ramkhamhaeng, Nakhanivas Ladprao, Rayong at Market Village HomePro, Chiang Mai at Kad Thawichok, and Nonthaburi at Soi Thedin Bang Bua Thong. By the end of 2022, Tops will have a total of 295 branches.

The highlight of the new branches at the end of 2022 is Tops Nakhanivas Ladprao, marking the launch of the first standalone store after a major rebranding under the Urban Scape concept, which offers a shopping experience akin to a neighborhood store. This premium community supermarket features leading food and beverage outlets, catering to urban lifestyles that require convenient dining and shopping for household goods. Located in a high-potential area of over 4,000 square meters on Nakhanivas Road in the central Ladprao zone, surrounded by residential areas, community projects, and leading educational institutions, the store emphasizes the use of wood-patterned materials and approachable color tones to create a welcoming atmosphere. The facade is designed with glass to allow natural light, creating an open and airy feel, making it an ideal neighborhood store for everyone to visit anytime, aiming to be a new community hub for Nakhanivas residents that offers more than just a supermarket, reflecting the brand DNA of Tops, which strives to be the best lifestyle center for every family.

Inside the project, Tops offers a comprehensive selection of consumer goods and high-quality ingredients sourced from the best producers worldwide, with over 18,000 items presented in a Room Concept format to provide customers with a unique shopping experience and inspire new ideas with every visit. It also offers a seamless shopping experience through personal shopper services and Quick Commerce, with convenient parking and EV charging stations.

Catering to every lifestyle and generation throughout the day, this one-stop shop is conveniently located close to home, fulfilling all needs. In addition to the supermarket section, we have curated a variety of well-known shops to enhance customer enjoyment, such as relaxing with coffee at the popular Starbucks, savoring authentic dishes from the famous Amphawa restaurant known as far as Malaysia, and Grab & Go food and beverage outlets for takeout, including the legendary Ko Aun Bao dim sum shop, Kamnueng for Thai desserts made from natural ingredients, Thirachai Grilled Chicken from Bang Tan, and the popular Fuku Matcha bubble tea shop. Additionally, there will be health and beauty shops like Tops Care, which sells medicines and health products, and soon, the Sleep Salon offering hair, eyelash, and nail services.

“Tops is ready to expand new branches to reach customers in every location. We aim to be a friend who understands our customers and a reliable source for the best products, offering innovative and modern services that enhance the convenience of shopping, making it more enjoyable and fulfilling. We strive to provide customers with the best shopping experience every day, reinforcing the concept of Every Day DISCOVERY," Mr. Stefan concluded.
