Bangkok, May 28, 2025 – In a vibrant celebration of success and community spirit, MR. D.I.Y., the household name in home improvement and lifestyle in Thailand, has reached a monumental milestone – the launch of their 1,000th store, spanning all 77 provinces of the country! This is no mere number; it’s a testament to growth, trust, and the overwhelmingly strong connection with Thai communities.
In a vivid and exciting ceremony held at The Mall Lifestore Ngamwongwan, MR. D.I.Y. proudly unveiled this 1,000th landmark store. This marked not just another location, but a significant chapter in a journey that began modestly in 2016. In less than a decade, this brand has evolved from a sole store into a nationwide retail phenomenon, boasting over 15,000 diverse products across six categories – ranging from hardware supplies to daily household necessities, all while steadfastly upholding their promise of being the place of “Always Low Prices.”
“Today, as we celebrate the opening of our 1,000th store, we’re really commemorating a shared adventure with the people of Thailand,” remarked Mr. Andy Chin, CEO of MR. D.I.Y. Holding (Thailand) Public Company Limited. “Every single product we offer, every smile from our staff, and each customer visit embodies our commitment to being ‘The Everyday Store for Everyone.’ Our past achievements excite us, but the future holds even more promising possibilities.”
MR. D.I.Y. is more than just a store; it’s a trusted venue for daily essentials, anchoring both bustling urban areas and serene rural spots with its promise of value, convenience, and accessibility. The company remains ambitious about expanding its reach, continuously enhancing the shopping experience, and pushing boundaries with innovative concepts like MR. D.I.Y. 2.0, their futuristic store design.
Reaching 1,000 stores in just nine short years is no small feat, but it’s not a journey made alone. Mr. Andy Chin expressed heartfelt gratitude, “This tremendous growth has only been possible thanks to the unyielding support from our customers and the relentless dedication of our over 10,000 employees. Their trust, diligence, and devotion lay the groundwork for MR. D.I.Y.’s past and future triumphs.”
To commemorate this achievement, MR. D.I.Y. opens its doors wide at MR. D.I.Y. The Mall Lifestore Ngamwongwan, inviting everyone to partake in the grand opening celebrations from May 23 to May 25, 2025. Attendees can indulge in exclusive promotional offers, creative giveaways, and an array of fun-filled activities as a heartfelt thank you to the customers and communities who have fueled this incredible journey.
Wow, reaching 1,000 stores is quite a milestone! It’s impressive how MR. D.I.Y. can expand so rapidly. But is this level of expansion truly sustainable in the long run?
I agree, Anna. While growth is great, sometimes big expansions can dilute service quality. I hope they don’t forget their core values.
Exactly, Tommy. Quality over quantity should be the focus. Let’s see how they manage this immense growth.
They’ve done well so far, but the retail market is volatile. They need to keep innovating to stay ahead.
But isn’t it better to have more options available everywhere? Especially for people living in rural areas.
Let’s be real, more stores just mean more places to buy cheap junk. These places clutter with stuff that doesn’t last.
Not everyone can afford high-end products though. Places like MR. D.I.Y. fill a significant gap in the market.
That’s true, but wouldn’t it be better if they balanced affordability with better quality?
Huge congrats to them! But I wonder if they can keep prices low as they get more popular?
I hope this expansion doesn’t come at the environment’s expense. More stores equal more carbon footprints.
Totally! I wonder if they have plans to offset their carbon footprint from this kind of rapid growth.
Exactly, Bobby. Companies need to be more transparent about their environmental impacts.
Maybe they do green initiatives, but they need to be vocal about it to inspire others.
Imagine walking into a store with 15,000 products! Must be a shopping paradise. Last time I was there, I found everything I needed.
Larry, I feel you. It’s good to have everything under one roof, but it can get overwhelming with too much choice.
True, but I’d rather have options than not find what I need.
As much as I love their prices, sometimes their products aren’t always top-notch. Still, it’s hard to resist a great deal.
How come the focus is all stores in Thailand? Are there any plans for expansion to other countries in the region?
Great question, Carl! It would be interesting to see them in neighboring countries like Vietnam or Indonesia.
I’m just happy they make shopping so accessible. Traveling to urban centers was hard for my family, but now we have a store nearby.
This is hyper-consumerism at its peak. Why do we need so many stores? It’s just encouraging people to buy more and waste more.
Cheers to their success! I worked at MR. D.I.Y. once, and it was a fantastic learning experience. They’re good to their employees.
I can’t help but feel proud whenever I see MR. D.I.Y. thriving. It’s like they’re making waves that inspire local businesses.
Yeah, they set a benchmark for customer service and pricing, which is good for everyone.
With 1,000 stores, I hope their customer service keeps up because scaling that can be tough.
Eduardo, I think as long as they invest in training their staff well, they should manage just fine.
I wish they’d focus on improving their online shopping experience too. The future is digital!
Oscar, totally agree! They could tap into a wider audience with a better online platform.
