This will primarily be achieved through strong support from Central Retail Corporation (CRC) in various ways including developing new products with Central Food Retail Co., Ltd. which operates Tops Supermarket, as well as participating in various promotions and marketing activities with different companies within CRC. FamilyMart will also improve its business by collaborating with subsidiaries within Central Group to expand the number of branches, and upgrade its inventory and logistics systems. The Company plans to roll-out more than 200 new branches in 2013, bringing the number of FamilyMart stores to 1,000 branches by the end of the year, and expand its network to 3,000 branches by 2017," Mr. Nat said.
