EARLY SENTIMENTS: AGGRESSIVE AND AMBITIOUS
"Citimart’s strategy will not only
stop at supermarket but also open
small-format stores, minimart to
explore all market segments.”
Ms. Nguyễn Thị Ánh Hòa
Investors of Citimart
“Vingroup with a plan to
develop 100 supermarkets,
1000 convenience stores till
2017, aims to create jobs for
20000 Vietnamese labour ”
Mr. Lê Khắc Hiệp
Vice President of Vingroup
“Co.op Foods target to open 30
stores till the end of this year (2011)
and open 150 stores moare up to
2015”
Ms. Nguyễn Thị Tuyết Hoa
Deputy Director of Saigon Co.op
“Up to now, Vietnam only had 400
stores. Meanwhile, with population
of 60 millions, Thailand has 10.000
(convenience) stores; Japan has up to
50.000 stores for 130 mil people.
Therefore, my forecast is Vietnamese
market size will be bigger than Thais
and in ten years times, number of
(convenience) stores can reach to
15.000 nationwide”
Mr. Kigure Takehiko
CEO of FamilyMart
Source: Nielsen Study at CVS/MM 2015 – Qualitative
“We have invested in the channel 2 years
now.
CVS chains are doing successfully by
recruiting the youth as their shoppers.
Vietnamese youngsters catching up quickly
with this new trend is quite surprising.
While independent minimarts, the
transition between traditional trade and
modern stores, are impacting
super/hypermarkets”
