Central Group is letting go of the Big C brand for its retail business in Vietnam

In 2016, Central Group became the new owner of Groupe Casino’s Big C Vietnam chain after forking out $1.14 billion. This was one of the mergers and acquisitions mega-deals shaping Vietnam's retail space at the time.

Intentions to change the name of the outlets were first made known in 2017 but it has not been until now, five years after the takeover that the change is implemented.
