Family Mart to enter the Vietnamese market
April 23, 2009
By Ken Worsley
Just two weeks ago, Seven-Eleven announced that it would be entering the Indonesian market. On the heels of that news, Family Mart announced today that it has plans to enter the Vietnamese market. Family Mart will be forming a joint venture with Vietnam’s Phu Thai Distribution and Investment Group as well as Itochu. Apparently, Family Mart’s first shop will be opened in Ho Chi Minh, and the firm aims to open 300 locations in Vietnam over the next five years.
