Ms. Phattaraporn Phenpraphat, Executive Vice President–Marketing & Public Relations of Central Food Retail Company Limited said, “Central Food Hall CentralWorld is one of our world-class food stores and it attracts both Thai customers and foreigners. The main target customer of Central Food Hall CentralWorld is Gen Y in the 25-34-year-old age bracket, who contributes to more than 50% of our customers, followed by those between 38-52 years old, who make up around 29 % of our customers. Most of them are office workers, single people, and university students, but we see a rise in tourists as well. In terms of consumer behaviour, we find that they live a modern lifestyle, are affluent, and are willing to pay more for higher quality. They like eating outside, meeting friends, and buying freshly cooked food to enjoy at home. Thanks to Central Food Hall CentralWorld’s central location, surrounded by tourist destinations and offices, we have decided to transform the appearance of Central Food Hall CentralWorld with a concept ‘TREAT YOUR CULINARY SENSES TO A NEW LEVEL OF SHOPPING AND DINING’. It is set to become a ‘world-class shopping and dining destination’, promising another level of service with digital signage to present relevant content through more than 20 in-store LED screens. Customers can also scan QR codes in our store to get an e-brochure on their phone. A bar counter is introduced, with a panoramic view as the backdrop, where customers can engage in a conversation with our chefs. 30% growth is expected after this revamp.
