Thailand's Central Department Store Co will spend THB250 million (USD8m) to give its Silom Complex branch a facelift in 2012.

President Yuwadee Chirathivat said the budget will be used to renovate the Central Department Store and Tops Supermarket at the Silom Complex branch, which has been closed since Saturday.

This is the first big renovation of the Central Department Store in the Silom Complex in two decades of business.
