  • Jeremy visits Cambodia's first 7-Eleven store to see what it's like. Is it the same as Thailand? Will this be the first of many in a takeover of the Kingdom? Will they rival the smaller convenience stores in Cambodia? Will the prices get people in or scare them away? It's time to get the low down on the ham and cheese toastie, see if the cheesecake is really made of cheese, and find out how much custard is actually in a rabbit. Located in Chroy Changvar, this 7-Eleven will be convenient for people travelling in and out of Phnom Penh, but it's not very close to the city centre. What do you think?

    Hi Jeremy and Claire , hope things are going well , what a surprise to see 7-Eleven suddenly appear within the Kingdom , having been born on July 11th , I carry a small feeling of affection for the franchise , back in the day , one could receive a complementary Big Gulp of their choosing , by simply producing their ID , showing they were born on July 11th , now days , at least here in the States , 7-Eleven celebrates the day with a free Big Gulp for anyone visiting one of their stores on that day , it appears you may have visited while training was still taking place , there did seem to be an exceptional amount of employees scattered about , for me , this opening comes as a reminder that Cambodia is ever changing , and that a movement towards development and modernization is unfolding daily right before our eyes , employment is so sorely needed for the younger Khmer generation coming of age , any progress made towards that goal , is a positive step forward in my humble opinion , and besides , who doesn't like an icy cold Big Gulp , on a sweltering hot day , combined with a quickly microwaved Ham & Cheese Sandwich , and you're back on the road in no time , really nice review , look forward to your next adventure , stay safe , take care , and as always , Peace ... P.S , Jeremy and Claire , I want to wish you both a very joyful " Merry Christmas " and a fun filled " Happy New Year " , what a year it has been , both of you have provided all of us followers untold amounts of Joy , Laughter , Smiles , and Happiness , I for one cannot " Thank You " enough , here's hoping 2022 is a wonderful year for us all , God Bless

      Merry Christmas to you to Brian, we will have a fancy breakfast out and then relax at home.
      7-11 will do well along the highway but I'm unsure if there will be as many as Thailand it Taiwan. I do think Taiwan has some of the best stores.

    • @ForRiel
      @ForRiel  2 роки тому +1

      That's hilarious! We grew up completely unaware of the existence of 7-Eleven. My birthday is 24-7, and I have a very good friend who can never remember whether my birthday is all day every day, or 7-Eleven. She always remembers it's one of the two though. Yes development is happening at breakneck pace here in Phnom Penh, and you're right - a 7-Eleven provides many jobs for young ones and all of the staff Jeremy encountered could speak some English, so it's a great opportunity to put that to good use while they are studying. Nothing like the welcome blast of air conditioning that you get from a 7-Eleven, and I have been known to open the door of a freezer to get a hit of even colder air. When we rode around Taiwan, 7-Elevens saved our lives many times as we desperately needed to get off the bike and have a quick coffee before getting back on the road. Thank you very much for the wishes of the season. We hope you have the opportunity to spend it with those near and dear, and maybe you might even be able to pop out for a celebratory Big Gulp! All the best and take care.

    This is maybe a sign of the development of the Kingdom but for me this is not entirely positive. I enjoy the lack of chain stores in Cambodia, and the contribution this makes to the vibe of the country. I suspect that the majority of such stores are foreign (Chinese?) owned. I hope this does not overwhelm the local independent stores, and result in the increasing extraction of franchise fees from the country at the expense of local independent businesses.

    • @TheSoshi92
      @TheSoshi92 2 роки тому +4

      I don’t think it’s highly likely that Chinese owns the store. Mostly there are many rich Cambodian businesspeople bought the franchise and run their businesses in the country.

    • @BIGJED75
      @BIGJED75 2 роки тому +2

      I'm unsure who owns them could be anyone. It's will be very interesting to see what happens. Small shops do well here as they are cheap as they are usually family run. I think 7/11 will have their own market but not take over. Any business that pays tax , employs young people and trains them is good for a Country. As we saw in Thailand, small locally run businesses survived where chains died. Let's just hope things improve and people have a opportunity to get work.

    Have you lost your mind??? The "main event" in the 7-11 is the beer cooler!!! Whenever I land in Thailand I stop at the 7-11 near the airport so I can buy a bottle opener for the beer bottle...always leave it in the last hotel before getting on the plane to avoid problems with security....thanks for the video

    I have eaten so many hot dogs in the early hours in Thailand, or in the late morning. Also regularly visited Smile shops in PP a LOT. Loved Smile. We found some that had seats outside and you could buy dirt cheap beer and drink it watching the world go by. Until nature called...

    • @ForRiel

      The Aeon MaxValu Express stores are great - they have lots of prepared meals and usually an a bench with power points where you can sit to eat. The air-con, selection of cool drinks and power points have saved many a hot and tired person, I would say.

    You showed everything EXCEPT the drink dispensers! That's the part I was waiting for. Just dreaming. Do they have a Thai Milk Tea dispenser? I'm in Siem Reap so it doesn't really matter. Just craving something simple. What I wouldn't give to be able to order Thai Milk Tea in Khmer OR English and get what I wanted in less than 5 minutes of attempts. I don't think I've ever been given the Khmer words or pronunciation the same way twice here. When I was teaching at a University in Thailand, I'd usually stop at a 7-11 to pick up Thai Milk Tea and something with shrimp. Oh, Well. Hopefully, my "short stay in Siem Reap to go to the airport for a departure flight" back to Laos more than a year and a half ago will end soon and I'll be back in a Thai Milk Tea happy place.
