Ready for action, the improvised SuperCheap call centre today

Razed Phuket Store Being Cleared

Saturday, October 19, 2013
PHUKET: SuperCheap set us a call centre today to help the store's recovery, inviting customers to place orders on 076 298600 as clearing work continued.

The large property where a blaze razed Phuket's most iconic megashop on Wednesday was being picked over by 250 workers today, with 50 of them dressed in boots and overalls thanks to the Phuket Provincial Administrative Organisation.

Project chief Santhan Sanang-Ngn, of the Kusoldharm Phuket Foundation, said the workers had been divided into four teams.

''The rain last night helped enormously,'' he tod Phuketwan. ''We have cleared about 50 percent of the area by hand with no bodies found yet.''

Corrugated iron with heavy nails was causing some delays, he said. ''We are happy with the speed at which work is progressing. As soon as the search by hand is finished, the graders will move in.''

A new SuperCheap selling fresh food has already arisen on land behind the devastated blaze site and was continuing to do a roaring trade.

The Phuket brand aims to keep its networking to 44 smaller stores on Phuket and one in Phang Nga up and running.

The predicted apocalypse is being averted, the thing is that Supercheap still has it's suppliers and producers in place and just need to be innovative and use the distribution centres it has in place already and then for the rest be innovative ... and they already show this. History will show that this fire had a lot less impact on supply and prices in Phuket that the last big flood in Bangkok and suburbs had.
