Consumer

Question whether the sales situation of Marsha's department in Shanghai is enough to support the expansion of its fourth stores.

A senior Marsha consumer told reporters: "on weekends, Marsha also thinks that people are not very much, and the style of clothes is not very fashionable. Compared with the mainstream of GAP and UNIQLO, Marsha's style sometimes feels too conservative.

"There are also consumers saying:" food and liquor are more distinctive products of Marsha. Many imported wines can be bought by more than one hundred yuan, and biscuits are also twenty or thirty yuan a volume. It feels more cost-effective, but the clothes still feel that the size is too large and the styles are not new.

In this regard, a senior employee of Marsha's Department has revealed: "the clothing of Marsha's department is mainly for consumers over thirty years old, taking the route of classic maturity. The sales of Nanjing West Road stores are not bad, and they are more than 1 hundred million a year.

"Wang Liuhe, Secretary General of the Shanghai general merchandise industry association, thinks that Martha has not been right in its early years since entering China, and its style is not suitable to adjust its products constantly to adapt to China.
