The Founders’ Story, Past and Present. 

 

VIVIN Grocery first began as “VIVIN”, a pop up food vendor at the Bangkok Farmers’ Market in 2014 selling foie-gras terrine with a recipe coming from the Grandmother of co-founder, Nicolas Vivin, who added his own twist to the equation. Some of those twists were to incorporate local products into the recipe, such as infusing a Phuket-based rum or Strawberries from Chiang Mai. 

 

Nicolas Vivin, originally from Roanne, France, and his Australian-Thai business partner and wife, food marketing guru, Samantha Proyrungtong, began seeking local produce alternatives as the more sustainable option for gourmet and fine food. 

 

In the beginning, the couple faced the challenge to encourage local and International customers to the benefits and potential of local artisanal Thai products but the couple continued to expand their range by working and developing with different artisans from various regions of Thailand. Besides being producers of artisanal and natural products themselves, VIVIN Grocery has always been actively involved with the quality process for many of the grocery products. They work closely alongside select producers to maintain quality control and assist in product development, such as creating new recipes and testing new items. 

 

From a stall at the Farmers’ Market in 2014 to becoming a food supplier, providing products to hotels and Restaurants in 2015, VIVIN also opened boutique corners in Emquartier and Central Chidlom between 2016 – 2018 in order to reach the mainstream market. Eventually, VIVIN closed its mini corners to focus on development that more suited its boutique brand and operations. With their new-found independence, VIVIN opened their first own brick and mortar store located at Ekamai Complex and rebranded to “VIVIN Grocery” in November 2019.  

 

Up to this very day, VIVIN Grocery houses over 400 product types and a ready-to-eat menu that is available for pick-up and delivery and has expanded its grocery offer from retail to restaurant, known as a “Grocerant” (restaurant-in-grocery) which launched September 1st, 2020. VIVIN Grocery prepares their All Day Dining meals fresh to order and recipes are based on Nicolas Vivin’s family recipes and nostalgic destinations such as Roanne, Lyon, and Les Contamines-Montjoie which he spent most of his youth, combined with modern taste and Chef’s inspirations. Although the menu is not strictly French it represents European and International flavours made with Thai produce and ingredients, found in the grocery. What VIVIN Grocery coined as “Shelf to Plate”

 

In August of 2022, VIVIN Grocery opened a second location in Asok, Sukhumvit soi 19 ‘ VIVIN Grocery – Cafe Asok, as a grocery and cafe concept, with a the same offer of groceries and similar menu but more distinct cafe vibes and tastes. In the evening the Café converts to a bistro, with a bistro menu and ambient setting. 

 

For 9 years the couple continue to work to raise the profile of Local Thai and Artisanal products, together with a small community of passionate new artisans along with those who continue to pioneer this niche industry since the days of the Farmers’ Market.
