Convenience Stores in Shanghai

Most people live in Shanghai will realize that there are lots of convenience stores  there. And those convenience stores are bright, clean and well-stocked with daily necessities. Lots of Shanghai people think that modest person would ever need to shop in those convenience stores.
Those convenience stores they open 24 hours over the year. And we are very proud of having those stores around us. Because the city promise that every 500 metres you will see a convenience store. Lots of place you can see over 5 convenience stores in 20 minutes' walking distance.
However, in other Chinese cities convenience stores are very different from the one in Shanghai; however, in Beijing even there is no shortage of grocery stores and mini-markets most of them were dirty, dimly-lit and poorly organized. Sometime there even were lots of dented food. Plus most convenience store close early in the night.
The fact of success of those stores in Shanghai is not a trade secret, but the store hardware and the supply chain mechanism of these stores are familiar to many retailers. The most differentiation is one chain from another are in the areas of marketing and in-store service. How much you trade your customers how much you earn from them.
Thankful thoughts are very important in small business.
