Top 15 Convenience Store Brands to Watch in 2017
The rise of convenience stores is a result of supermarkets moving to suburbs and becoming larger. While supermarkets meet shopping needs, they have drawbacks such as being far from residential areas and consuming time. Convenience stores emerged to fill this gap. The first convenience store prototype appeared in the US in 1927, and the first true convenience store, 7-Eleven, was created by the Southern Company in Texas in 1946. In China, the industry started late, with the first stores appearing in the late 1990s. Despite rapid growth, challenges such as rising operating costs and digitalization remain. Unmanned convenience stores are seen as a future trend.

文丽娟One Map, One Route, Three Tables, Seven Fixes: How to Seize the Terminal
The terminal is the final link in the distribution chain, encompassing various retail outlets where consumers purchase goods. For distributors, these include hypermarkets, supermarkets, convenience stores, grocery stores, and retail stalls. Terminals hold significant commercial value, such as shortening distance, providing convenience, and promoting purchases, leading manufacturers to increasingly prioritize them, resulting in phenomena like 'grabbing territory,' 'grabbing terminals,' and 'grabbing displays.' However, numerous problems exist in terminal operations, including product chaos, pricing inconsistencies, weak channel management, uneven execution, poor new product promotion, salespeople neglecting small stores, exploiting system loopholes, and inefficiency. These issues ultimately lead to poor terminal sell-through, necessitating a fresh understanding of terminals.

张陈勇Alibaba and Wahaha Enter the Fray: Is the Unmanned Convenience Store Really the Next Big Thing?
In the past half month, after two bike-sharing companies exited, shared power banks have also quieted down. Before we could lament the fading of the trend, unmanned convenience stores arrived. On June 25, beverage giant Wahaha signed a "3 years 100,000 units, 10 years 1 million units" Take Go unmanned store agreement with Shenlan Technology, which develops unmanned retail technology. Subsequently, dairy giant Yili also planned to promote unmanned convenience micro-stores in over 2,000 communities in cooperation with Shenlan Technology. On June 28, Sinovation Ventures announced the completion of a 30 million yuan A+ round of financing for F5 Future Store, a 24-hour unmanned convenience store built on self-developed robotic arms and backend management systems. On July 1, another unmanned convenience store company, BingoBox, announced the completion of its A round of financing, exceeding 100 million yuan.

超市老万The Warning Significance of Hunan New Yijia Supermarket's Bankruptcy
On June 16, the Changsha Intermediate People's Court issued an announcement regarding the bankruptcy liquidation case of Hunan New Yijia Commercial Investment Co., Ltd., selecting an administrator through competitive means. At its peak, New Yijia Supermarket operated 112 hypermarkets with annual sales of 17.4 billion yuan, and was one of the top 20 commercial enterprises cultivated by the Ministry of Commerce. Of course, the Hunan company is only a subsidiary of New Yijia; its parent company, Shenzhen-based New Yijia Supermarket Co., Ltd., has not declared bankruptcy and is reportedly in talks for acquisition, so its future remains uncertain; but even if it were to declare bankruptcy now, compared to the average lifespan of 7-8 years for Chinese group companies, New Yijia would not be considered a 'short-lived' enterprise.
老笑Eighth B-end E-commerce Study Tour: This Time We're Going to Japan, with a Focus on New Retail!
In August this year, we decided to organize an in-depth study tour of Japan's retail industry, with the theme of cross-border innovation. Why study Japanese retail? Because Japan's social structure and consumption habits are closer to China's; Japanese retail companies such as Muji, 7-Eleven, and Aeon have performed well in the Chinese market and offer many lessons for domestic retailers. Japanese retailers are years ahead of China in food operations, fresh food preparation, lean management, and thematic merchandising. From the perspective of retail development, today's Japan is tomorrow's China.
New DistributionThe "White + Black" Strategy in Business Negotiation
Doing business well relies on both talking and walking: talking with your mouth and walking with your legs. Hard work is important, but if you can't negotiate good terms or achieve good results, you'll exhaust yourself without reaping rewards. Negotiation is a skill with a threshold, requiring business knowledge, industry insight, communication ability, and quick thinking. Not everyone is suited for negotiation, and for major negotiations like annual contracts, large promotions, new product launches, and key displays, a strategic approach is needed. This article recommends the "White + Black" tactic, where two negotiators play the roles of the 'good cop' and 'bad cop' to manage the negotiation process effectively.
