Emart fast tracks supermarket centre in HCM City
(VOV) - At an Emart partner’s conference on March 31, Choi Kwang Ho, a company director, announced that its first supermarket in Vietnam is being constructed on the fast track and is expected to open in the near future.
HCM City will soon see the long awaited opening of the company’s first Emart supermarket, which is going up in the Go Vap district, Ho said.
To date he said the company has pumped about US$60 million into the project, adding that it is also speeding up formalities to open a second centre in Tan Phu district of the city.
Once completed, this will be the largest supermarket in the city specializing in providing food, household utensils, and clothing made in the RoK. The trade centre will also have entertainment for children, restaurants and cinemas.
During the event, representatives from Emart Vietnam also discussed opportunities for roughly 300 Vietnamese distributors to join the company’s supply chain not only in Vietnam, but around the globe.
The company began operations in the RoK in 1993, and since has expanded rapidly opening 153 centres in the RoK and 10 centres in China. For 2014 the company recorded worldwide gross revenue of US$13.2 billion.
