CAMBODIA’S first Vietnamese supermarket will open its doors to customers next month, its administration manager said yesterday.
The US$3 million two-storey complex has been built on Phnom Penh’s Monivong Boulevard, in Boeung Keng Kang 3, near the Vietnamese embassy, and is owned by an investor from a firm called Z38 Co.
“It is the first Vietnamese supermarket to open in Cambodia. We will provide good service to the clients,” Keo Rithy Thy, administration manager for the store said.
Despite its roots, the store, which will house around 100 booths for rent in 3,264 square metres of space, will not confine itself to selling Vietnamese products.
“We’re selling mix products come from abroad,” said the manager.
Chinese and Thai products will also be for sale at the complex, which is named simply Vietnamese Supermarket.
According to publicity for the store, it intends to sell bags, clothes, shoes, jewellery, toys, furniture, food and beverages.
Competitors are taking stock of the development.
“I’m not worrying anything because we have different products imported from abroad,” Chheang Meng, General Manager of Bayon Supermarket in Phnom Penh, said yesterday.
“We always give the best services to our clients and make clients feel confident with high quality standard goods,” he said.

May be because there is no other food or products to buy. Let the Thai or Malaysia or Phillipine
ReplyDeleteand other country who wants to invest in the super maket system in Cambodia, then you will see the real result. I bet that few Cambodian will choose vietnam's products.
This is what we all should like about the free market system. The more producers the more freedom, a buyer have. Isn't great? and the poor producer just need to work harder and better. If they cann't, then that's just too bad.
11:35PM! but ah kwack will make other investors a hard time except the fucking Vietnamese! Yeaknam choymaray!
ReplyDeleteIn Germany, I buy the product from Taiwan, China, Thailand, Japan, S. Korea,.. From Viet NEVER because or are of glutamate and not delicious at all. I'm not against Viet product but that is the fact. What's up in Cambodia?

Vietnamese gov't will never allow Cambodian to open a supermarket in their country.
ReplyDeleteEither way, Cambodians would rather do their business locally in their own country.
I would advise to all Cambodians when using their product, because it's not gov't regulated.
