In 2013 Home Pro, the Thai DIY chain, saw its sales increase by 16.13 per cent to THB 40 111.64 bn. The company identifies both comparable-store growth and implementation of the new Mega Home format as reasons for the high rates of growth. It opened eleven new Home Pro stores last year, so has 64 outlets in operation now. In addition, the first two stores of the Mega Home format came on line during that period.
