CJ Supermarket

CJ Supermarket is one of the names you'll see again and again around Pattaya and Jomtien — a bright orange-and-green Thai retail chain that has exploded across the country and the eastern seaboard over the past decade. Founded in 2005 as CJ Express and now rebranding many stores under the 'CJ More' banner, it sits somewhere between a convenience store and a full supermarket: bigger and cheaper than a 7-Eleven, smaller and more local than a Big C or Lotus's hypermarket. For residents and long-stay visitors it is a genuinely useful everyday stop, and there are branches dotted through Jomtien, central Pattaya, Naklua, Bang Saray and Sattahip. Inside a typical store you will find fresh and packaged groceries, fruit and veg, drinks and snacks, household and cleaning goods, and — CJ's signature twist — a surprisingly deep health-and-beauty section (the in-house 'Nine Beauty' range is a big draw for cheap skincare and make-up), often alongside a bakery and a Bao cafe or Uma coffee counter for a cheap iced coffee. Prices are low, stores are clean and air-conditioned, and most open early until late. It is not a destination in itself, but knowing what CJ is — and that there is almost certainly one near your hotel or condo — makes daily life in Pattaya cheaper and simpler. Hours and ranges vary by branch, so confirm locally.

About

CJ Supermarket is one of Thailand’s fastest-growing retail chains, and around Pattaya its orange-and-green stores have become a fixture of everyday life. Run by the CJ Express Group (founded 2005) and increasingly branded “CJ More”, it occupies a useful middle ground: bigger and cheaper than a 7-Eleven, but smaller and more local than a Big C or Lotus’s hypermarket. The company has been opening stores at a furious pace nationwide, and the Pattaya–Jomtien–Sattahip corridor has plenty of them.

What you’ll find

A typical CJ is a one-stop everyday shop:

Groceries: fresh produce, meat and packaged food, rice, snacks, drinks and household staples.
Household goods: cleaning products, kitchenware and basic homeware at low prices.
Health & beauty: CJ’s signature strength — a deep, cheap cosmetics and toiletries section, including the in-house Nine Beauty range that pulls in shoppers for budget skincare and make-up.
Bakery & cafe: many branches include a bakery counter and a Bao cafe or Uma coffee stand for a cheap iced coffee.

Branches around Pattaya

CJ stores are scattered across the area — through Jomtien, central Pattaya, Naklua, Bang Saray and Sattahip — so wherever you’re staying there’s likely one within walking or scooter distance. This page is anchored to a Jomtien branch; for the one nearest you, a quick map search will find it.

Good to know

Stores are clean, air-conditioned and cheap, with long opening hours (roughly 7am to 10pm, though it varies). It’s not a sightseeing stop — it’s the practical answer to “where do I buy groceries, toiletries and household bits without paying convenience-store prices?” For long-stay visitors and residents especially, that makes CJ one of the handiest names to know in town.
