Tops is a leading supermarket chain in Thailand, operated by Central Food Retail, a subsidiary of Central Group Company (CG). It is one of the largest supermarket chains in Thailand, operating a broad food retail sector ranging from premium supermarket brands to convenience stores and specialty stores. The group currently operates a network of over 800 outlets across Thailand, providing omnichannel and quick commerce services to ensure a seamless shopping experience for its customers.
The first Tops supermarket was opened in Bangkok, in 1996. Tops was the first all-in-one and full-scale supermarket in Thailand, and it quickly became popular with shoppers due to its high-quality fresh products and wide array of imported goods.
In the late 1990s and early 2000s, Tops expanded rapidly, opening new supermarkets all over Thailand. The company also introduced new store formats, such as Tops Food Hall, a premium food store offering an extensive and exclusive selection of fine flavors sourced from top producers worldwide.
In recent years, Tops has continued to grow and expand. The company has introduced new store formats, such as Tops Daily, a neighborhood convenience store format, and Tops Fine Food, a gourmet food lover’s destination.
Tops has also invested heavily in its online business. It launched a new online grocery shopping platform with 40,000 products, the first delivery subscription (Tops Prime) in Thailand. Tops Online has a 100% freshness guarantee, 1-hour delivery, and quality products from around the world.
Tops also holds a substantial number of its own private labels and exclusive brands, with over 275 brands in its portfolio. The company is dedicated to delivering greater value for money than its competitors, prioritizing quality satisfaction, and actively pursuing packaging innovation to achieve both commercial and environmental sustainability goals.
Today, Tops is one of the most innovative and trusted supermarket chains in Thailand. The company offers a wide variety of products, including fresh groceries, imported goods, and convenience items. Tops also offers a convenient shopping experience, with stores located all over the country and an online shopping platform.
