Mahatas Optical Store Network Roll-Out Target
380-580 stores by end-2027 (vs 240 in 2024)
Mahatas Optical FY2024 disclosure ends at 240 outlets across Thailand; the October 2025 store-network expansion programme targets 380 to 580 outlets by end-2027 via tier-2 city expansion (Khon Kaen, Udon Thani, Nakhon Ratchasima, Chiang Mai, Hat Yai, Surat Thani, Rayong), mall-partner roll-out (Central, Siam Piwat, The Mall Group, MBK) and acquisition of independent optometry chains. Strategic significance: Mahatas crosses the threshold beyond which its lens-edging and prescription-fulfilment scale economics dominate at-tier-2 unit costs and allow premium-lens (Essilor Crizal, Zeiss Drive Safe, Hoya iD MyStyle) and designer-frame (Ray-Ban, Oakley, Persol, Prada) attach to clear margin floors. The roll-out is the single largest infrastructure variable in the 2027 segment trajectory.
