Big C From Thailand Buys Kiwi Mart Cambodia
Big C bags Cambodia's Kiwi Mart
Deal comprises 18 convenience stores
published : 27 May 2022 at 05:00
Big C Supercenter Plc, a leading retail operator in Thailand, has acquired Kiwi Mart -- a convenience store chain in Cambodia -- via its Cambodian subsidiary to strengthen its retail business in the neighbouring country.
According to Gary Hardy, an adviser of Big C Supercenter, Big C Supercenter (Cambodia) reached an agreement to acquire Kiwi Mart in Cambodia last week.
The acquisition was effective as of May 17, but the value of the deal has not been disclosed.
"The acquisition of Kiwi Mart is an important opportunity for both Big C and its parent firm, Berli Jucker Plc, to expand business in the Asean region, including Cambodia," he said.
The deal allows Big C to own 18 Kiwi Mart stores in Cambodia, 17 of which are in Phnom Penh, with the other branch located in Kampot province.
Big C has had a presence in Cambodia since 2019, with the first Big C hypermarket opening in Poipet, with a total space of 8,000 square metres.
Currently, Big C operates two branches in Cambodia -- one branch of Big C Mini and one branch of Big C hypermarket.
Kiwi Mart was established in 2017 as a 24-hour convenience store, selling a variety of products, including French, Thai and local brands, targeting domestic and foreign customers.
"Big C realised an opportunity to expand our business to cover all areas of Cambodia via online and offline platforms, making our products easy to access and come closer to Cambodian consumers,'' he said.

Kiwi opened a long time before 2017. If it's targeted at Khmer and foreigners, who is it not targeted at? Aliens from Mars?CEOCambodiaNews wrote: ↑Sun May 29, 2022 1:42 am

Despite what angsta states, it’s clear from reading through his posts that angsta supports the free FreePalestine movement.

Great news, hopefully they will clean up those shoddy Kiwi markets to meet their standards.
Re: Big C From Thailand Buys Kiwi Mart Cambodia
yes when I first saw Big C I thought what a horrid name for a store in Oz you would say like my mates dying cause the big C ... of course since 2020 it also means to a lot of people Corona Virus . Bit like calling your beer Krud ... hows ya beer mate ? Damn tastes like krud (sh#t) name change sure couldn't hurt.
Re: Big C From Thailand Buys Kiwi Mart Cambodia
A Thai company should change its name because aussies like to call cancer and/or now corona "Big C"? I'm sure they couldn't care less!
Re: Big C From Thailand Buys Kiwi Mart Cambodia
I believe cancer is referred to as the Big C pretty much world wide including Thailand (I lived there near on 10 years) in any case I said couldn't hurt didn't they they should

Re: Big C From Thailand Buys Kiwi Mart Cambodia
Meanwhile over in Vietnam last year ( march 4, 2021)
Retail chain Big C plans to rebrand all its outlets as Tops Market or GO! this year, laying the Big C name to rest after 22 years in Vietnam.
.....From 2022, the Big C brand will only exist in Thailand, where it is owned by TCC Group led by tycoon Charoen Sirivadhanabhakdi.

Re: Big C From Thailand Buys Kiwi Mart Cambodia
I notice the Kiwi Mart stores have a very poor selection of goods in stock since Big C took over. Or is it just the 2 stores that I have been in.
