= Foodland Thailand = Foodland is the first network of 24 hours opening grocery stores in Thailand. They are all controlled by Foodland Supermarket Co. Ltd., which has Somsak Teraphatanakul as a committee chairman. The Foodland supermarket has been first operated in 1972 and until nowadays.

Despite being in operation for 43 years, Foodland continues to provide top-notch customer service. Finding rivals is still challenging at the moment. Currently, Foodland uses these 6 qualities as a selling factor to win over customers:

1. A 24-hour grocery store

2. A restaurant open 24/7 (Took Lae Dee)

3. A pharmacist-run 24-hour pharmacy

4. An always-open bookshop

5. A coffee shop open 24/7

History
In the year 1972, the grocery store business is very new in Thailand the only groceries store that was available at that time is “Daily Lane”. Thus, Mr. Somsak Teraphatakul and his partners decided to first open the grocery store named “Pleonchit Supermarket” it is the first 24 hours opening of a supermarket in Asia. After 6 months, Mr. Somsak and his partner have made a decision to open the second branches of the supermarket named “Patpong Supermarket” which is located on Patpong road.

Unfortunately, Mr. Somsak does not specialise in the field of retail business service in the form of supermarket chains. So he decided to employ a specialist in retail business from Hongkong as a managing director of company services to assist his business to succeed and develop. For the third branch, he decided to buy the supermarket chain “Daily lane” and changed to name to “Foodland” as well as the 1st and 2nd branches.

Nakhon Ratchasima shootings
After the shooting of Foodland, the Terminal 21 branch in Korat invested 20 million to improve Foodland's quality. There was quite a bit of damage in the past; regrettably, the insurance coverage might not be worthwhile. Due to having to close for up to six months, there is a loss of life and property for which the extent of the harm cannot be determined. However, they are now back in operation and prepared to provide their own economic boost. As an example, there is a promotion that offers items for purchase at a discounted rate and one free. Additionally, the décor was done in a contemporary industrial design to facilitate client use.

Economic Stimulus
Foodland uses marketing techniques like the "buy one, get one free" campaign. This will be conducted typically once every month to increase sales. Which the feedback was very interested.

Peg the price

Foodland has dealt with many suppliers to peg the price and to help the customers. As well as the butcher that Foodland produces themselves, the large amount of pork is used and whether the cost of the pork is increasing by 30%, Foodland still trying to fix the price to help their customer as much as they can.
