Despite slowing consumption, Big C Supercenter Plc showed a 10 percent increase in second-quarter net profit at Bt598 million.
Revenue rose 9.5 per cent year on year to Bt17.28 billion.
Chief executive and president Yves Braibant said the increase in sales was a result of the opening of five new stores, and continuing sales growth at existing ones. The new stores are in Ratchaburi, Sukhothai, Chaiyaphum, Phetchabun, and Krabi.
