On social media, many videos and posts have attracted thousands of views, shares and comments. Public opinion is clearly divided into two camps. One side believes that the price of 199,000 VND/person is "too cheap" to eat Ri 6 durian that meets export standards, while the other side questions the comfort of the experience when it is limited to only 1 hour.
Many people are still skeptical about the feasibility and profitability of this model, thinking that the organizers might be "more interested in fame than money".
According to the investigation, this event was organized by a large enterprise in the fresh fruit export industry at a large fruit store in District 10, Ho Chi Minh City. The representative of this enterprise said that the first "durian buffet" program was coordinated with a supermarket in Tien Giang at the end of May, attracting a large number of customers to join the queue despite the rain.
Due to the strong spread of the program, the company continued to organize another event in Ho Chi Minh City, right at its store in early June.
"We are happy because the event received a lot of attention, with both compliments and criticisms. There were also negative comments such as doubts about the quality of durian, analysis of profits and losses... but most of all, we wanted to continue organizing it so that everyone has the opportunity to participate" - this person shared.
Therefore, the company will organize another durian party in early July, also at a price of 199,000 VND/person for 1 hour. However, because the store can only accommodate about 50-60 guests at a time, it will prioritize selling tickets directly to customers who come to buy and enjoy immediately, rather than accepting advance reservations.
According to this representative, the durian used in the program is the Ri 6 variety selected according to export standards, customers can choose the fruit and open it on the spot, so the operation is quite complicated. The unit is also planning to coordinate with the supermarket system to organize more batches, but there is no specific schedule yet.
Regarding the possibility of replicating the model, according to this business, with the price of 199,000 VND and the commitment to quality, the unit has almost no profit. Therefore, the possibility of commercialization is not high, if there is, the ticket price will have to be adjusted up.
