Retail stores lose out to convenience storesSmall retail stores in HCM City are losing customers as convenience stores have boomed in the recent years. Retail stores in HCM City lose customers to convenience storesConvenience stores such as Circle K or Vinmart can be found everywhere in Ho Chi Minh City. Those stores have air conditioning and even free wifi for customers which small retail stores lack. Change has not just been seen in the city's centre, there are also a large number of convenience stores in the suburbs. The products are varied and I trust their quality more than in the retail stores."
