As reported by Inside Retail Asia, the new 13,000 sqm, two storey store is located in Paradise Park, a shopping centre in the city’s eastern suburbs jointly developed by MBK and Siam Piwat.

Tokyu Thailand operations are run by Paradise Retail, a 50-50 joint venture between Bangkok-Tokyu Department Store Co and Paradise Retail. CEO Takashi Hayano told The Nation newspaper the company is targeting sales of between 700 and 800 million THB in the first year of trading, or US$21 – 24 million.

We are certain that all of the above mentioned together with other Japanese-touched services will leave our customers impressed in their every visit to Bangkok-Tokyu Department Store Paradise Park.”
