Tops showcases its excellence in food retail by launching 5 stores in December 2022, highlighting Nakniwas Ladprao standalone store with the concept of Urban Space, going beyond an ordinary supermarket

Bangkok - December 15, 2022 - Tops, food business under Central Retail, plans to add five new branches by the end of 2022 to further strengthen its position as Thailand's No. 1 food retailer. As part of this, it will open its first standalone community location following the announcement of its rebranding. The new Tops Nakniwas Ladprao branch uses the Urban Scape design concept to create an atmosphere like shopping in a friendly neighborhood supermarket. The standalone Tops outlet on more than 4,000 square meters targets high-potential communities and supports the future expansion of the central Ladprao zone. It also aspires to be a new community hub that caters to the lifestyle needs of the entire family. Under the concept of Every Day DISCOVERY, it houses a complete range of over 18,000 quality products from around the world. A variety of popular restaurants are also available here, including the iconic coffee brand Starbucks; Amphawa, a restaurant famous internationally, even in Malaysia; dim sum and stuff buns from Ko Auan, the most legendary restaurant that has been in Hat Yai for more than 30 years; Teerachai Kai Yang Bang Tan (one of the country’s most favorite grilled chicken recipes); Kham Nueng, a shop offering freshly made Thai desserts made from natural ingredients; and Fuku Matcha, a popular bubble tea shop, among others.

Mr. Stephane Coum, Chief Executive Officer - Food Group, Central Retail said, “Following the unification of our food businesses into a single Tops brand under the concept of Every Day DISCOVERY, the overall business operation for the remainder of 2022 is that Tops continues to expand its branches while also developing the store format to always be modern and suitable for each location. We also continue to actively respond to changing needs and lifestyle behaviors while expanding our presence into high-potential communities and prime residential areas. Tops opened five new branches in four provinces in December, including Supalai Veranda Ramkhamhaeng and Nakniwas Ladprao in Bangkok, Market Village Homepro in Rayong, Kad Thaweechok in Chiang Mai, and Soi Tee Din in Nonthaburi's Bang Bua Thong District. By the end of 2022, the total number of Tops branches will be 295.”

Tops Nakniwas Ladprao is one of the new and highlighted openings before the end of 2022. It is the first standalone location following a major rebranding under the Urban Scape concept, which provides an atmosphere like shopping in a friendly neighborhood store. It is intended to be a premium community supermarket with leading food and beverage outlets to support the urban lifestyles of people looking to stop for food and purchase consumer goods before returning to their homes. It is considered a high-potential location because it occupies a space of over 4,000 square meters in the heart of Nakniwas Road within the central Ladprao zone. It is surrounded by residential areas, communities, small and high-end residential projects, commercial real estate developments, and leading educational institutions. Traveling to the new outlet is simple because it is connected to several major roads. The building style emphasizes the use of materials that look like natural wood and inviting color tones that give the impression of being easily accessible. It also has a glass façade that lets in natural light, giving it an open, airy, urban landscape feel. Tops Nakniwas Ladprao is ideal for anyone to visit at any time, with the goal of becoming a new community for Nakniwas residents. It is the location to provide a customer experience that goes beyond that of a supermarket, reflecting Tops' brand DNA that aims to be the best lifestyle hub for everyone in the family.

Tops Nakniwas Ladprao, located on the premises, offers a wide variety of consumer products, raw materials, and food ingredients sourced from the best manufacturers from around the world, both domestically and internationally, totaling over 18,000 items. These are presented in the form of a Room Concept to provide customers with a unique experience and to deliver new inspiration each time they visit to purchase products. Personal Shopper and Quick Commerce services can also provide a seamless shopping experience. There are ample parking spaces and electric vehicle charging stations for your convenience.

All day long, Tops Nakniwas Ladprao is destined to fulfill every lifestyle for every generation. It could be the nearest and most convenient shopping mall that meets all your needs. Aside from the supermarket, a variety of well-known stores are available for customers to spend their time happier, such as drinking coffee in a relaxing atmosphere at the world-famous Starbucks Coffee or experiencing authentic Thai cuisine at Amphawa, which is also well-known in Malaysia. There are numerous Grab & Go outlets for food and beverage take-out, including Ko Auan Restaurant's legendary dim sum and stuff buns, Khumnueng’s Thai desserts made from natural ingredients, Teerachai Kai Yang Bang Tan, a famous charcoal grilled chicken with a Bang Tan specialty recipe, and Fuku Matcha, a popular bubble tea shop. There are also places for health and beauty enthusiasts, such as Tops Care, a drug and health products store that is about to open for business. And soon, you'll be able to find a Sleep Salon, a full-service hair, eyelash, and manicure salon, and so on.
