A spokesperson for Casino insisted Big C had sought to try to keep its other stores stocked. Big C operates 106 hypermarkets in the country. 

“All items and equipments were moved to the second floor and the distribution centres were moved to four separate sites that the company has prepared to use as temporary cross-docking and distribution stations to continue supplying the stores,” the spokesperson said.

Tesco, meanwhile, has reportedly closed around 25 of its Express outlets and two Talad Lotus branches.
