GO Wholesale is making waves yet again with the grand opening of its 9th branch, GO Wholesale Mueang Phuket, following the phenomenal success of their Rawai branch. This new hotspot is a dream come true for local food operators and small retail businesses, providing a central hub for top-notch food ingredients. With a prime location and timing that ties in perfectly with the government’s 10,000 THB cash handout initiative to boost the economy, GO Wholesale is on a mission to help businesses thrive in these exciting times. And guess what? New members are in for a treat with exclusive discount coupons worth 1,000 THB along with a flurry of launch promotions that are bound to kickstart the excitement.
Mrs. Suchada Ithijarukul, the dynamic CEO Group Thailand & International at Central Food Wholesales Ltd., a key entity under the Central Retail Corporation (CRC), couldn’t have summed it up better. She highlighted Phuket’s incredible economic potential driven predominantly by tourism. The province is a bustling community of food service operators, small retailers, and businesses in the HoReCa sector (hotels, restaurants, catering). Following the smashing success of the Rawai branch in July, GO Wholesale is now expanding its footprint with the Mueang Phuket branch, located strategically opposite Talad Kaset. This new branch is set to provide a golden opportunity for entrepreneurs in Phuket and nearby areas to elevate their revenues and thrive like never before.
“Phuket’s promising economic prospects, coupled with the demand for diverse food offerings in this top-notch tourist destination, make GO Wholesale an invaluable partner for food service operators. Our aim is to source high-quality ingredients from both local and international suppliers, offering products that spark new business ideas and inspire creative menus. This aligns perfectly with the expected rise in consumer spending courtesy of the government’s 10,000 THB cash handout,” remarked Mrs. Suchada enthusiastically.
The Mueang Phuket branch, nestled on Ong Sim Phai Road opposite Talad Kaset, spans a vast 6,000 square meters and operates on a membership basis. With a staggering inventory of over 15,000 products at wholesale prices, this store is poised to be a game-changer. The spotlight shines on their fresh food section, showcasing seafood in delightful aquariums and an extensive frozen food area. Cheese aficionados can dive into a world of premium cheeses sourced globally, while their bakery churns out freshly baked goodies daily, catering perfectly to restaurants and cafés. Entrepreneurs can also find endless inspiration at the Beverage Solution corner, featuring innovative beverage ideas to tantalise any palate. And let’s not forget the GOfe’ corner, serving up customer favorites like grilled chicken and barbecued pork ribs—the ultimate culinary delights.
A standout feature of GO Wholesale is their flagship product customization service, meticulously designed to meet the specific needs of business operators. This service ensures unparalleled convenience and time-saving in food preparation processes, making it a definitive favorite among their clientele.
With a heartwarming focus on community upliftment, Mrs. Suchada emphasized, “In addition to our expansion efforts aimed at driving local economies, we are committed to uplifting the communities we operate in. Over 80% of our employees at the Mueang Phuket branch are local hires, directly contributing to the province’s socio-economic well-being. We also take immense pride in sourcing products like Phuket lobsters, blue crabs, tiger prawns, Phuket pineapples, and hydroponic vegetables from local farmers, thus supporting local SMEs and extending their market reach across Thailand. Moreover, our commitment to sustainability is unwavering—we provide waste separation bins to local schools and promote environmental awareness among younger generations, an initiative already active at our Rawai branch.”
To celebrate this special opening, we’re rolling out a series of exclusive promotions that are sure to thrill. Enjoy Super Deal, Shocking Promotion, and Buy 1 Get 1 Free offers that are tailor-made for entrepreneurs, including best-selling products designed to hike profits.

Another big corporation taking over local markets. Is this really beneficial for the small business owners?
Actually, it can provide better prices and variety for local businesses. Plus, they hire locals!
Sure, but won’t this kill off local suppliers and small shops eventually?
It’s a win-win. Local businesses get access to better products, and the economy gets a boost.
The 10,000 THB cash handout feels like a bribe to shop at these big stores. Anyone else feels the same?
Yeah, it’s like they’re funneling the government support right back into their pockets.
I disagree, it encourages spending which boosts the economy, benefiting everyone.
GO Wholesale’s prices have always been higher than local markets, their ‘discounts’ are just a gimmick.
I actually found their imported goods fairly priced compared to local shops.
Quality over price. You get what you pay for.
But are the quality improvements worth killing off traditional markets?
This is great news! Much needed for Phuket’s economy, especially after the tourism hit.
Can’t wait to check out their cheese section. Phuket definitely lacks good cheese options.
Why are people so negative? This is good for everyone!
Super Deals and promotions seem too good to be true. What’s the catch?
Probably hiking up prices later after the initial promotions end.
Exactly my point. It seems like a tactic to lure in customers.
Good move by GO Wholesale, supporting local farmers and SMEs. Thumbs up!
Yes! It’s heartwarming to see big businesses supporting local communities.
Does anyone know if the 1,000 THB discount applies to any purchase?
Suchada Ithijarukul seems to be doing a fantastic job. She’s got a great vision for the company.
Agreed! A strong leader with an eye for community upliftment.
I think any CEO can talk a good game. Let’s see the results.
Why is there such a focus on seafood? What about other types of food supplies?
Phuket’s a coastal area. Seafood is a big part of local cuisine and culture.
True, but diversity is important too. Hope they offer a wide range.
I love how they’re focusing on sustainability and supporting local schools. More companies should take note.
Why didn’t they open this store sooner? We needed this years ago.
Better late than never!
True, but timing it with economic aid isn’t a coincidence.
Grateful they are sourcing from local farmers. Many of us have struggled.
How convenient is it to get to the Mueang Phuket branch? Traffic there is always a nightmare.
This seems like a smart business move. Phuket is thriving.
Mixed feelings about this. Sounds good on paper but implementation might be a different story.
Always the case with big projects. Let’s wait and see.
Hope they live up to the expectations!
Good to see corporate responsibility in action. Supporting local communities makes a big difference.
Do they have vegan options? Phuket’s vegan scene is growing.
I believe they do! Saw some mentions about diverse food offerings.
That’s great! I’ll check it out.
How do you become a GO Wholesale member? Is it worth it?
You can sign up online or in-store. Membership has its perks, especially if you run a business.
Thanks, Nancy! I’ll definitely consider it.
