The retail operator is planning to spend $32 million refurbishing seven of its Central Department Store locations across Thailand in 2021, the Bangkok Post reported.

Central also plans to renovate its Robinson department stores by the end of the year and will unveil a new Robinson location in Ayutthaya this fall.

Increased domestic demand and government spending have convinced the group to invest in renovating key brick-and-mortar stores; it expects the Central and Robinson department stores to bring in 62 billion baht ($1.9 billion) in sales this year.
