At the same time, we need to help our partners maintain their businesses and facilitate them. Our shopping centers have become the ‘Center of Life For All’, while everyone can become a hero by ‘staying at home to curb the spread of coronavirus for the country’. We have, therefore, created a paradigm shift in marketing to create the opportunity turning point to new services that help simplify things for our customers.

Central Pattana first launched the Drive-Thru and pick-up service at Central Phuket to support customers and tenants by teaming with up key anchor stores to offer the service – which was the first in Phuket. CPN has also alleviated tenants’ burdens by waiving the rent for retailers who can’t operate their businesses following the authorities’ mandate. CPN has joined forces with Central Group’s business units such as Tops Supermarket, Central Food Hall, Central Department Store, Robinson Department Store, SuperSports, B2S and OfficeMate to make the Drive-Thru business model available at various branches nationwide. The Drive-Thru business model will also be used to help support tenant stores that join the campaign and to enhance the shopping experience of customers and provide them with better convenience when ordering goods or products from stores.
The Drive-Thru service is easy to use by following these three simple steps:
- Order: through ONE CALL – ONE CLICK service to contact and inform our staffs which stores or restaurants you want to order from
- Drive-Thru: drive your car to the pick-up point at the appointment time
- Pick up: pick up and pay for your orders as agreed with the stores.
CPN’s previous actions in dealing with the current situation have been widely and positively talked about in social media and by reports from many news agencies worldwide which reflect the creativity of Thailand’s number one retail and property developer on how to adapt and deal with situation. CPN has strict social distancing measures at its food delivery and take-away pick-up counters to ensure the safety of its customers, delivery staffs and customers. It also provides free drinking water to food delivery staffs and constantly reminds them to wash hands, wear a mask, sit apart, disinfect mobile phones with alcohol and encourage cashless payment.
These measures are part of CPN’s efforts to elevate its services and offer therapeutic release to customers bringing some joy to people who stay at home during this crisis as well as to help boost sales of tenant stores so that their staffs can continue to earn a living and the economy can continue to move forward.
