CJ Express Group Co., Ltd. (Thai: บริษัท ซี.เจ. เอ็กซ์เพรส กรุ๊ป จำกัด) is a Thai retail company that operates convenience stores and supermarkets under the brands CJ Supermarket and CJ More.[1][2] It was founded in 2005 as a provincial retailer in Ratchaburi and was acquired by Carabao Group in 2013.[3][4] As of 2025, it operates over 1,700 branches nationwide.[5]
In 2022, the company announced plans to list on the Stock Exchange of Thailand, but was later postponed due to Thailand's weak market sentiment and worsening economic conditions.[6][1]
History

On August 1, 2013, the business underwent restructuring when Sathien Setthasit, Chairman of Carabao Group, acquired a majority stake and renamed the company to CJ Express Group.[3][4][8]
