Big C Supercenter announces that sales of the company for the first 9 months of 2004 have continued to grow according to projections. From January to September, sales totaled 34.79 billion baht, yielding a hefty net profit of 1.07 billion baht following strong sales performance at every Big C branch, especially the outlets in Chachengsao and Samrong.
Mr.Yves Braibant, CEO & President of Big C Supercenter, Public Company Limited, disclosed that during January to September 2004, the company was able to maintain continuous growth with sales performance of 34.79 billion baht, up 3.55 billion baht over the same period last year or 11.3%. The net profit for the same period soared to 1.07 billion baht, up by 164 million baht or 18% over the same period last year.
“Big C Supercenter was successfully able to maintain its performance because of the sales growth from the existing stores as well as newly opened stores such as Chachengsao and Samrong, which received positive response from consumers. Attractive promotional campaigns from product manufacturers also contributed to impressive sales growth,” he said.
“The rising of oil prices has prompted consumers to pay more attention to products they choose in relation to the price. People tend to be economical and reasonable, which is the image Big C Supercenter has been able to achieve — being the leader in pricing. Continuous marketing and sales promotions also played a major role in stimulating sales and purchasing capabilities,” he explained.
At present, Big C Supercenter has a wide network of retail branches dominating 39 locations around the country. The latest outlet is in Pattani Province. Consumers within
the 3 southern most provinces have well embraced the coming of the country’s leading retail operator to their region. The company is planning to open its 40th outlet in Surin Province later this year. Currently, all Big C Supercenter outlets are open from 9.00 AM to 11.00 PM. (except for the Fashion Island branch, which is open from 10.00 AM to 10.00 PM, and the Pattani branch which is open from 8.00 AM to 8.30 PM).
