Recently, Guang Bai opened its first independent boutique supermarket in Zhaoqing. Its second stores will be settled in Zhanjiang in September this year.

Reporters found that many domestic stores have already set foot in supermarkets, and are interested in the development of high-end supermarkets.

But will this lead to higher profits or huge risks?

It is understood that over the past two years, due to high inflation and

Double attack, the rapid development of department stores is facing bottlenecks.

Many domestic department stores began to develop high-end supermarket formats and run horses in big cities.

Beijing Hualian's BHG, Yansha, Seth, Parkson and other high-end department stores have begun to run their own boutique supermarkets.

Wuhan, a well developed commercial city, has more than 100 hundred and Wuhan businessmen in the middle and high-end supermarket life theatre and super life hall.

Wuhan Zhongshang group also opened up high-end supermarket products, and reporters once saw many goods in the supermarket imported.

At the same time, Yintai Department has entered the door of the supermarket format through acquiring more than 30 new supermarket chains, Suizhou New Century Shopping Center in Hubei province.

Industry experts believe that, because high-end supermarkets are in the initial stage of the Guangdong market, they are regarded as fragrant food by businessmen. "The market competition in Zhaoqing, middle and low end supermarkets has been very sufficient, even to the point of intense competition, and the market of high-end supermarkets has just started, so we can say that there is considerable room for development."

Guang Bai executives expressed optimism about high-end supermarkets.

How to digest high risk?

However, Luo Kuangyi, an analyst with the Northeast Securities retail industry, believes that the risk of inventory in high-end supermarkets is too great, the location and category management requirements are very high and the market is not mature, so most high-end supermarkets are not successful at present.

Industry experts also say that the cost of high-end supermarkets is twice as high as that of ordinary supermarkets.

Moreover, the import products of high-end supermarkets are mainly self operated, and channel operators buy goods from agents, and are responsible for buying, selling and storing links, and assume corresponding operational risks.

This is different from that of ordinary hypermarkets. It is still a matter of whether the department stores that are accustomed to joint mode can have corresponding talents and financial strength.

Huang Wenjie, executive director of Guangdong provincial Circulation Industry Association, said that the target customers of department stores coincided with the target customers of high-end supermarkets, and supermarkets began to develop toward department stores.

These are all factors that push department stores into high-end supermarkets.

However, the principle of competition is to enhance the profitability of enterprises, at least not to damage the long-term development goals of enterprises.

Therefore, how to operate supermarkets under department stores should be viewed from a long-term and global perspective.

At present, many high-end supermarkets in China are still in a state of loss. The high-end supermarkets should be more inclined to the current profit rather than the rapid expansion of the scale.
