Mobile World Group Bách Hóa Xanh expansion
Overview
Mobile World Group (MWG) is executing a rapid expansion of its Bách Hóa Xanh supermarket chain across Vietnam. As of early August, the chain had reached approximately 3,400 outlets after opening 632 stores in the first half of the year. The company aims to open over 1,000 additional stores throughout 2024, maintaining a balanced distribution between northern and southern regions.
By mid-August, the expansion accelerated, with the total store count reaching 3,434 following the addition of 875 new locations since the start of the year. This growth rate averages four new openings per day. The increased presence in Northern and Central Vietnam has positioned Bách Hóa Xanh as a direct competitor to Masan Group’s WinCommerce. While the expansion intensifies regional competition, industry observers suggest the market may support multiple major players, noting that recent Bách Hóa Xanh locations are already reporting positive operating profits.
