From our first hypermarket opening in 1993 at Wong Sawang area of Bangkok, our store network has expanded nationwide and our formats have expanded from hypermarkets to cover multiple formats. In 2011, our network leaped forward when we integrated Carrefour’s operations in Thailand. The integration gave us access to key catchments in both Bangkok and upcountry, enhanced our ability to offer our customers the best price available, and widened our reach to cover all customer segments from low to high income.
Whether you shop in our stores or work with us, you are a part of the Big C family. Over the years our family has grown significantly. We currently employ over 27,000 members of communities across Thailand. As for the customers, our popular Big Card loyalty program has grown rapidly into a big family since its inauguration in 2009, reaching 7.6 million members by the end of 2013.
