Robinson Department Store Plc plans to double its
branches and sales over the next five years after expanding slowly over the
past several years.
The number of branches in 2016 is
expected to reach 50, up from 25 by
the end of this year. Sales would rise to 34.6 billion
baht over the same period.
Robinson president Preecha Ekkunagul said at least 2.5 billion baht would be spent to add five new branches each
year for five years, with the funding to come from the company's cash flow.
Next year's five new branches will be in Bang Na, Bang
Khae, Surat Thani, Lampang and Suphan Buri, each creating 500-600
new jobs.
