Entering the Vietnam market in 2009, Aeon opened its first commercial center in 2014 and it plans to invest in 20 other centers by 2025.

In this September, Aeon Vietnam signed the Memorandum of Understanding with Haiphong Investment, Trade and Tourism Promotion Center to develop a commercial center on an area of 9.3 hectares in Le Chan district.
