ChipButty Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 This morning I see the 7/11 at the corner of Sai Yuan road by the traffic lights was closed I wonder what happened there.......? Always seemed busy to me or have they found Covid in there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

n00dle Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 I can think of 2 or 3 that have gone the way of all things near me. If I stretch the circle out to a 2km radius, its closer to 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, by 7/11 policy once a location looks promising they often get trading started as quickly as possible (possibly to create a competitive advantage and to get the new store into their supply chain operations). Then when the location proves profitable and has created market awareness (customers are aware that the shop exists and are aware it will be rebuilt/improver/made bigger), they start a rebuild using better designs, equipment etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somtamnication Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 A Family mart closed by my house. It was a super busy one. All windows covered in white whatever and atms disconnected. Sad to see more lost jobs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LivinginKata Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 The 7 to south end of Nanai (corner of 6) has been stripped out include windows. Now a bare shell. While many closed I see few stripped right out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check again tomorrow. nah i would say nearly 50% of all the family marts/ 711's in rawai are now boarded up and closed. I am guessing not enough business to stay open at the current time.

KarenBravo Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 Some of these 711 locations are prime positions that used to be busy. Another example is the 711 that is opposite the road to the Big Buddha on Chao Fah West. Closed and ATM machines removed. Then there is the 711 opposite the Chalong police station. It was closed, refurbished and it is now open again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bert bloggs Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 Many closing, most did not rely on tourists,but they did rely on the people who worked in the tourist industry now they have gone back home,so less and less shoppers ,yesterday was shopping in Tesco ,there were more staff than us shopping there,how long will they stay open i wonder? Mind you i could parl right next to the main doors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
