“The opening of the Laos branch has been delayed due to the country’s economic problems with inflation and currency depreciation. However, the situation has improved, and the company hopes to open its first franchise by mid-2023,” sais Korsak, Thailand’s CP ALL CEO and President.

Following the franchise agreement signing between CP ALL Laos and Thailand’s CP ALL Public Company in 2020, the popular American convenience store chain was originally supposed to open the first 7-Eleven store in Laos in 2022.

Several Thai companies had earlier entered the Lao market with PTT Public Company Limited, one of Thailand’s largest fuel distributors, using its petrol station franchise model to establish branches of Rimping Supermarket, Cafe Amazon, and Jiffy convenience stores in Laos. – Laotian Times
