Tops, a leading food retailer under Central Retail, completes a successful first quarter of 2024 by solidifying its position as Thailand’s number one food retailer. The company continues its expansion plan with the grand opening of ‘Tops Central Nakhon Pathom,’ its 159th store nationwide. This strategic move leverages four key competitive strategies. For the first time in the province, Tops partners with a Mixed-Use Megaproject to cater to the growing demand in the thriving satellite city area. The new store aims to provide a premium shopping experience, offering a curated selection of over 24,000 products, ranging from global to local brands. Customers can enjoy an extraordinary shopping experience every day. Following the Every Day DISCOVERY concept, the store will be open daily from 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM, starting today.

Mr. Stephane Coum, Chief Executive Officer – Food Group, Central Retail, stated, “Tops continues to drive business growth by consistently expanding its branches through
multi-Format, multi-category strategy. Our goal is to shape Tops into a ‘Food Discovery & Destination’, aligning with and linking to the customers’ essential needs. The latest investment in expanding the 159th branch, ‘Tops Central Nakhon Pathom’, marks the third branch opened in the first quarter of 2024, following the openings of Tops Ratpattana in Bangkok and Tops Central Nakhon Sawan in Nakhon Sawan province earlier this year. Nakhon Pathom Province, being a satellite tourist city near Bangkok, demonstrates growth potential in both tourism and residential sectors. It is surrounded by educational institutions, contributing to continuous economic growth, evident from the Gross Provincial Product,
or GPP, averaging at 375,953 baht in 2023, ranking among the top-ten provinces with the highest per capita income in the country. This strategic location will further fortify our business according to Tops’ five-year roadmap.”
