Home Pro’s growth continues unchecked

The Thai DIY chain Home Pro is growing at an astonishing rate. Retail sales increased by around 20 per cent both in the third quarter (19.97 per cent) and in the first three quarters (20.59 per cent), attaining a volume of 11.898 bn baht in the third quarter and 35.000 bn baht in the first nine months of 2014. The company attributes this rapid growth to both like-for-like increases and to the addition of new stores. Home Pro operated 71 stores at the end of the quarter.
