This growth accelerated its CRC Retailigence strategy.

Central Retail Corporation reported its same store sales posted a double-digit growth in January 2022 across Thailand, Vietnam, and Italy.

Its omnichannel sales have also recorded a double-digit growth even as a significant number of their customers return to physical stores.

“We are confident in moving forward with the CRC Retailligence strategy that will unlock leaping growth for the company,” Yol Phokasub, Chief Executive Officer of Central Retail, said.

“With continuous optimism, Central Retail looks ahead in expanding its business this coming year.”

The company also reported its fashion segment registered a “strong recovery” over the same period, whilst its property segment saw 85% of the usual number of shoppers return.
