[Vnbiz] The march of McDonald's...

Sun Nov 12 20:38:28 PST 2006

Dear CACC
In HCMC, my observation that the KFC business is growing up day by day
(Good or bad , I don't know???) KFC has some restaurants around the city (
at corner of Nguyen Dinh Chieu- Pham Ngoc Thach str, Nearby New wolrd
Hotel, Nguyen Van Cu-Tran Hung Dao Str)  and normally crowded. They're also
building a few new restaurants That is the good indication for KFC and
other Fast food business. I, myself actually don't like Western Fast food
but that is the fact.

Yours truly!

Re: The march of McDonald's, Burger King, KFC and other fast food brands
into VN

Honestly, I've never wished to see them in Ha Noi or anywhere else in VN.
I've always been so proud to hear compliments on the slimness of the
VietNamese (esp. women) thanks to the non-existence of such Western fast
food in Ha Noi, as well as the high community-sport spirit of our people.
It's truly beautiful to walk around the Hoan Kiem lake every early morning
and late afternoon, just to see people jogging, doing T'aichi, Yoga...

KFC did open 1 store in Ha Noi a few months ago. Luckily, it doesn't seem
to be successful!
I wonder how are these things in HCM city? Any CACC would like to share
some opinions?

Cheers,

Romi

Vietnam also recently approved a franchising law that will make it easier
for companies like McDonald's and Starbucks to gain a presence in cities
where U.S. chain stores remain largely absent.

If Vietnam's cities lose some of their distinctiveness and become more like
other bustling Asian cities, that's just the price progress, said Doan Duy
Khuong, vice president of the Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

"In a market-driven, money-driven society, we can't avoid the laws of
life," Khuong said_______________________________________________
