PTT Oil and Retail Business Plc (OR) has officially opened its first Café Amazon concept store in Cambodia, located in the vibrant Toul Kork business district in Phnom Penh. The store offers a unique experience with its distinctive design and a special menu of beverages and food, carefully crafted for the Cambodian market.

Additionally, OR has launched the PTT station Neak Vorn, a flagship full-service station, right in the heart of Phnom Penh. This expansion strengthens OR’s business presence in Cambodia under the concept of "They Grow - We Grow."

ML Peekthong Thongyai, OR’s chief executive officer, and Tull Traisorat, ambassador of the Royal Thai Embassy in Phnom Penh, attended the grand opening ceremony of the Café Amazon concept store in Toul Kork. This marks the first Café Amazon in Cambodia to embrace the concept store format and aims to become a new landmark in Phnom Penh. Additionally, they also participated in the opening of PTT station Neak Vorn, one of the company’s flagship full-service stations, located in central Phnom Penh. The event was also graced by Cheap Sour, secretary of State Ministry of Mines and Energy of Cambodia.

ML Peekthong said OR recognizes Cambodia's significant potential, both in terms of economic growth and business opportunities. As such, OR has strategically positioned Cambodia as its "second homebase," expanding its business from Thailand into the Cambodian market under PTT Cambodia Limited (PTTCL). This move is part of OR's commitment to fostering sustainable growth in Cambodia, guided by the "They Grow - We Grow" philosophy, which underpins OR’s approach to international operations.

The Café Amazon concept store in Toul Kork marks the first of its kind in Cambodia, designed with the people concept in mind. This concept aims to make each Café Amazon location a reflection of its community, telling a unique story that blends local culture and lifestyle. By incorporating the diverse lifestyles of people from different age groups and considering the store's location, the design harmonizes with the community's spirit.

The store offers a variety of seating arrangements, making it a welcoming space for all customers, from professionals and students to families.

The Café Amazon concept store at Toul Kork is the first of its kind in Cambodia, offering a unique experience with location-specific special menus that showcase local culture through fusion beverages. The store's signature drinks are crafted with ingredients sourced from the surrounding community.

For this branch, the special offerings include "Komlos Srok Yerng,” inspired by Cambodia’s traditional banana sticky rice, blending Amazon House Blend coffee with banana syrup, topped with sticky rice and banana; and "Nary Smai Thmey," a refreshing blended drink made with pink guava, a well-known fruit in Cambodia, and topped with plum powder, delivering a sweet and tangy burst of flavor.

Additionally, the concept bar serves coffee made from carefully selected beans and seasonal varieties, exclusively available at Concept Store locations. Besides all those, this is also the first Café Amazon in Cambodia to find soft serve. The Toul Kork branch caters to the local community with a wide range of food options, including Cambodian classics like Lok Lak and Bay Sach Chrok, Thai favorites such as Pad Thai and Pad Kra Pao, light meals, and freshly baked goods.

The store's design embodies a "lifestyle oasis," offering a peaceful, nature-inspired environment. The interior furniture and materials follow a sustainable, upcycled approach, reflecting Café Amazon's commitment to the principles of a circular economy. This dedication aligns with the brand's ongoing mission to promote environmental responsibility and its vision of "For the Better World."

Currently, Café Amazon has over 4,879 locations across 11 countries. Cambodia leads the way with 254 stores, and the Toul Kork concept store is the 254th. This milestone emphasizes OR’s goal to elevate the Thai brand on the global stage, achieving recognition and success to become a top international beverage brand.
