The Nguyen Tri Phuong school equipment and book store was first established by STB in 1984. After 41 years of service, the facility had become outdated and required upgrading. Therefore, STB’s leadership promptly reviewed, approved, and implemented a renovation plan, bringing the new model into operation on September 16.
With a total area of about 1,200 sqm across two floors, the store features a modern, attractive design and spacious layout, enhancing customer experience with a wide range of products such as textbooks, reference books, teaching and learning materials, stationery, equipment, preschool toys, souvenirs, and gifts.
Speaking at the ceremony, VEPH chairman Nguyen Tien Thanh emphasized that today’s event represents both a continuation of tradition and STB’s aspiration for innovation in the technological era.
“We are very proud of the company’s achievements, especially because STB has something truly special: Generations of employees have worked together with unity and commitment, overcoming challenges as one collective body, to move forward into the future,” he commented.
