Food chain restaurants, CENTEL, M, MINT, ZEN vulnerable to shink SSSG 3Q from fast growing food delivering services, Prachachart news.

Comment: I disagree with this comment. I think that several of these players have benefited from food delivery services, ZEN themselves said that 15-20% of their business comes from delivery. Now with the Food industry one thought I’ve had is that, specifically in Thailand, 20 years ago ones main option in the shopping centers was american fast food. Then the italian trend came, followed by the Japanese trend. Now you see that Thai restaurants are far more vibrant in the shopping centers. So to see that MINT’s F&B business is struggling isn’t a surprise to me, CENTEL has effectively never had positive SSSG but focused instead on network expansion. M is tied is effectively tied to the popularity of MK Suki and ZEN I think is making the right moves. Maybe this requires a “proper” random thought.
