CP Foods plans to invest 1.65bn baht (€40m) to open 1,400 new Fresh Mart stores in its home market, and will also look to open 70 stores in Vietnam, seven in Malaysia, and a few trial stores in Myanmar. The group also said it will spend 250m baht (€6m) more to buy 15,000 small cold storages, which it uses to distribute fresh and frozen food to small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) buyers across Thailand.
Sales of food have been growing at Fresh Mart, and are expected to jump up 15% this year to 5.6bn baht.
