CJ MORE Opens Store Fronts to Boost Local Entrepreneurs
CJ MORE is opening retail storefronts at over 2,000 branches nationwide to help local entrepreneurs operate rental shops and community markets, creating income opportunities and strengthening local economies.
In many communities, retail shops serve not just as shopping destinations but as gathering places where people meet, exchange ideas, and create shared activities—becoming central to daily life. When these spaces are developed to create professional and income opportunities, they strengthen the local economy sustainably.
CJ MORE, a brand that has grown alongside communities, is advancing the concept of "CJ MORE Complete, Right, and Worth It" to elevate retail stores beyond mere neighborhood shops into "community hubs." The company is opening spaces in front of more than 2,000 branches nationwide for local residents to start businesses, generate income, and grow together through rental stalls and community markets, creating vibrancy and continuous economic stimulus at the local level.
Store Fronts: Opportunities for Small Businesses to Grow with Communities
A key role of CJ MORE store fronts is creating opportunities for small entrepreneurs to operate "rental shops"—whether restaurants, beverage stands, barbershops, variety stores, or diverse local businesses—with easy customer access from convenient community locations. Beyond serving as a commercial space, CJ MORE supports these businesses by promoting standout and popular shops through content creation and the government's "Thai Helps Thai Plus 60/40" program, helping them gain wider recognition, reach more customers, and boost sales during economic challenges.
As shops become better known, entrepreneurs earn more income while customers enjoy benefits and discounts, creating more spending circulation within the community and benefiting all in the local economic chain. Rather than being merely commercial areas, these store fronts help small businesses grow, build customer bases, and develop stable operations.
Community Markets: Adding Life and Income for Local People
Another reflection of community hub status is CJ MORE community markets, where locals sell goods—fresh cooked food, homemade snacks, vegetables, fruits, agricultural products, or local specialties—creating important channels for small traders to earn income and supplementary revenue.
These community markets transform store fronts into gathering points for locals, becoming spaces for meeting, conversation, and daily vibrancy while offering customers affordable local goods and sellers direct access to consumers, creating continuous money circulation within the community.
To increase activity and support small traders, CJ MORE links spending between the store and market through promotions for Sabai Card members: when customers spend 150 baht in CJ MORE, they receive a 10-baht discount coupon for market purchases, encouraging them to visit market vendors, increasing traders' earning opportunities, and creating continuous spending circulation within the area.
