Saigon Co.op is celebrating its 30th birthday with a month-long huge promotions and incentives at Co.opmart and Co.opXtra supermarkets, attracting many customers.

On the morning of May 12, Co.opmart and Co.opXtra supermarkets in HCM City were crowded with customers taking part in the “Buy 1, get 1 free” promotion, which will end on May 25.

Customers have bought many products included in the promotion, such as Coca Cola (1.5 litre), Bien Hoa refined sugar (1kg), Nuti sweetened condensed cream carton packages with green label (385gr) and Tucbeghi G503 (1.2L) earthen pots.

Co.opmart and Co.opXtra supermarkets are also offering the “Buy more, get great discounts” promotion, with many product prices cut to VND1,000 to VND72,900 when customers buy a second item.
