Cambodia isn't Thailand. There's a very different food mentality here, especially when it comes to buying the kinds of things available in mini-marts and 7-11's. For a lot of Khmers, snacks and drinks are things you buy from roadside stalls, not convenience stores.

But let's see....

as i recall everyone, said the same thing about Thailand when there were no 7/11's;
people wont use them, they will stick with the mom and pop shops, buy on the road etc etc
TILL they got a 7/11 near them and they found out how not only were they convenient ( 24/7), far superior, constantly restocked and they were air conditioned>

I am sure they will succeed.

Well, they are obviously not very keen to get started!
A Family Mart opened in Battambang in 2012. I don't think it lasted very long.
There aren't so many mom and pop stores in Cambodia, just the markets. And the coffee stalls for drinks. What's the common link there? Low rents.
Unless your business is attracting tourists or well off locals/expats, you can't afford to pay the rents that shops demand.

Not every idea from Thailand necessarily works here. The cookie cutter beer bar concept from Pattaya/Patong/Lamai they tried here at GSM has been a total flop...and that was before Covid.

I think Khmers would love 7-11s...if they could afford them after the rent and electric costs have had their effect on the prices charged.

The first store in Chroy Changvar is now open. So I wonder what was the source of Khmer Times?

I wouldn't agree. They have closed some Circle Ks in areas that were formerly frequented by tourists in Daun Penh but have opened new ones in other neighborhoods. Convenience stores have been here for over a decade and some are very popular with locals. It depends on location much of the time. If 7-11 can give the same type of service they do in Bangkok and the prices are lower than existing stores they should do very well. I just can't imagine they will be able to supply the same sort of range of products and they will be quite a bit more expensive.

Will be interesting to see if the Khmer take to the Slurpees.

No slurpees, nachos and the hot dogs come from circle k...? What exactly is different about this from the other convenience stores.

Probably just made up, or taken verbatim from some shite talk overheard by the author

The Khmer might well be one of the worst newspapers I've had the misfortune to see

7-Eleven Opens First Store in Cambodia
The new store carries over 2,000 products, ones typically found at 7-Eleven stores as well as local fresh food items, including some unique to the Cambodian market.

By Emily Boes | August 30, 2021

7-Eleven opens its first Cambodian store on Monday, Aug. 30, in Phnom Penh, the country’s capital. Residents and tourists alike now can enjoy the company’s unique style of convenience, signature food and drinks, as well as products and delicacies especially created to appeal to the local market.

CP ALL Cambodia Co. holds a master franchise agreement with 7-Eleven and is solely authorized to develop and operate stores in Cambodia. CP ALL Cambodia Co. is a subsidiary of CP All Public Co. Limited, which operates more than 12,000 7-Eleven stores in Thailand and is the largest 7-Eleven licensee.

The country’s first store is located in Phnom Penh’s Prek Pnov district on the outskirts of the city. Occupying the first floor of an office building, the store’s address is 41,43 National Route 6A, Prek Leab Village, Sangkat Prek Leab, Khan Chroy Changva.
A grand opening celebration will be held later.
