Flooding brings sales

Home Pro, a Thai DIY chain, reports high sales growth. By comparison with the same period last year, sales rose by 27.4 per cent in the first quarter to THB 8.41406 bn. The increase was achieved both from existing stores and new openings. The company explains that the main reason is the increased demand for reconstruction and renovation materials in the wake of last year’s floods. Home Pro had 46 branches in operation at the end of the quarter.
