The chairwoman of FPT Retail, Nguyen Bach Diep, said the firm strategically chooses locations where its competitors are already present and have achieved positive sales. She said 60 percent of people prefer to buy medicines in their neighborhood and so Long Chau is eyeing expansion into small localities. It is expected to open 300 new stores this year, she added. Mobile World and Pharmacity also realize the potential of residential areas. Pharmacity general director Chris Blank said the company envisages half of the country’s population having its stores within a 10-minute drive, and so plans to have 5,000 stores in the next three years.

Long Chau announced the highest Tet (Lunar New Year) bonus of five months’ pay in January besides the mandatory 13th month’s salary. Two months later it rewarded all employees with half a month’s salary for achieving business plans ahead of time. Its employees received 15-18 months’ salaries on average last year. Pharmacity raised salaries, commissions and bonuses by an equivalent of one to 12 months’ wages. It plans to increase its payroll to 35,000 by 2025 to meet its goal of 5,000 shops. Nguyen Duc Tai, chairman of Mobile World, said pharmacists’ proficiency is the "decisive factor in the success or failure of pharmacies, not prices or shopping experience". While they all have the ambition of dominating the US$8-billion market, the results of the three giants were very different last year. Pharmacity reported revenues of VND3.567 trillion ($158 million), twice the number in 2020. Leading private equity firm Mekong Capital invested an undisclosed amount in Pharmacity in 2018. The retailer raised VND730 billion in Series C funding a year later, while its parent company issued VND1 trillion worth of bonds. Mobile World has lost VND17 billion on its investment in An Khang in the last four years, but remains optimistic about growth and breaking even soon. Long Chau reported a 330 percent rise in revenues to VND4 trillion. It also reported profits for the first time last year, breaking even earlier than it had planned.
