Watsons, Boots to spend on facelifts in Thailand

Two specialty store chains are preparing strategies to respond to fiercer competition in Thailand’s health and beauty sector.

Central Watson Co, the local operator of Watsons specialty stores, plans to spend THB350 million (USD11.8m) to open 50 new stores, renovate existing stores, build brand awareness and manage customer relationships.

Archrival Boots Retail (Thailand) Co plans to open 30 outlets this year and revamp its Botanic line, one of its best sellers.
