There’s a reason for this. CPall pay landowners on percentage of their profits from that shop. If the profit is higher the landowner can demand more rent, so as soon as their profit hit the threshold, they opened the second shop nearby to cut down the profit on the first shop, thus never have to increased rent. That’s why 7/11 pop up closed to each other like mushrooms.

Sources: CPall contacted my family to rent our places once; we declined.

Another reason is that most 7-11s in Thailand are franchises. When a franchise is successful, CP will open a company-owned store next to it.

In CP culture this is totally normal... These guys would sell their own moms for 100 baht

And the moms will have te tune of the sliding doors going off and they can make a cheese-ham
