Rimping Supermarket
Origins Along the Ping River, Rimping Supermarket was founded in 1988 (B.E. 2531), with its first branch established in the Nawarat Bridge area along the Ping River—an origin that inspired the name “Rimping,” meaning “by the Ping River.” With a clear vision to differentiate itself within Chiang Mai’s retail market, Rimping positioned itself as a high-end supermarket to serve customers with strong purchasing power, tourists, and expatriates living in Chiang Mai. These groups sought premium-quality products and service standards beyond what was commonly available at the time. This vision has been guided by the philosophy “The Market of Choice,” or “the choice for discerning customers.”
Aesthetic Identity and Refined Experience
What has earned Rimping Supermarket long-standing loyalty is its deep understanding of the local context and customer expectations. Each store is thoughtfully designed with distinctive, elegant décor, warm lighting, and classical music that enhances the shopping experience. The absence of intrusive advertising announcements allows customers to enjoy a calm, relaxed, and refined atmosphere while shopping.
Quality and Sustainability
True to its identity as “The Market of Choice,” Rimping places the highest priority on quality and safety. All products—especially fresh foods, vegetables, and fruits—undergo careful selection and rigorous testing for chemical residues. At the same time, Rimping is committed to environmental responsibility by implementing a no-plastic-bag policy, encouraging the use of reusable cloth bags, and supporting natural materials. These initiatives reflect the company’s dedication to sustainability and its responsibility toward the environment and local communities.
