Central Retail’s GO! Yen Bai project, spanning almost 13,000 square meters in Yen Ninh ward, Yen Bai city, is an exciting development that broke ground on October 5, 2024. With an anticipated launch in Q3 2025, this integrated commercial hub promises to be a vibrant destination for the local community.
Designed with a single commercial floor, GO! Yen Bai will offer a seamless blend of retail, culinary, educational, entertainment, and community amenities. Upon completion, it will house an array of domestic and international brands, catering to diverse lifestyle needs.
Shoppers can look forward to over 40,000 products, with a focus on food, fast-moving consumer goods, and essentials. The project also encompasses restaurants, entertainment zones, and fashion outlets, ensuring a well-rounded experience.

In preparation for its grand opening, Ms. Nguyen Thi Bich Van, Director of Communications at Central Retail Vietnam, shared that they have already employed over 100 locals, forming a significant portion of their workforce. This proactive recruitment strategy ensures they are well-prepared for the hub’s operation in Q3 2025.
Strategically located, Yen Bai serves as a gateway to the Northwest economy and the center of the Midland and Northern mountainous region. GO! Yen Bai’s inauguration will create hundreds of direct and indirect job opportunities while facilitating the distribution of local agricultural produce and OCOP products.
The project will provide a platform for farmers, cooperatives, and local businesses to showcase their goods in GO! Yen Bai and potentially reach a nationwide audience through Central Retail’s network, including GO!, Big C, and Tops Market supermarkets.
