Hefei West Second Ring Tesco Supermarket Closed, Most Stores Have Been Evacuated.

Many employees are in the supermarket.

Handling counters and large items.

"Tesco closed down in the West Second Ring Road." yesterday, in the capital city of Hefei, the news was bubbling with excitement.

Since WAL-MART closed two Hefei stores last year, Tesco has been the first major chain supermarket to close its stores in Hefei for the first time.

Yesterday afternoon, when the reporter rushed to the Tesco store at the intersection of West Second Ring Road and Changjiang West Road, a supermarket employee was sitting at the entrance "check", and no non staff members were allowed to enter or leave.

The next sign indicates that the large supermarket has been closed.

Reporters from the entrance to the inside, the vast majority of shops have been evacuated.

All the lights went out, and lots of construction waste accumulated on the ground.

Lu Da sister lives in fule home district, Tesco supermarket is a large supermarket closest to her home, but she doesn't like the big supermarket at home.

"We don't buy vegetables so much, but there are not many dishes in it. It's not very fresh."

And she shared the same view with her neighbor Cao Da Jie and Bai Da Jie.

Cao elder sister is more talkative, she gives reporters analysis.

The reasons for closing down are: "the first thing is that things are few and the prices are high."

Cao said that apart from Tesco, there is also a Beijing Hualian Supermarket nearby. Compared to the two, the price of Tesco is higher than that of Hualian.

In addition, Cao said that the management of Tesco supermarket is not humanized. "Egg sales promotion in winter, many people wait outside the door to open the door, and do not want to go in after a while."

It is understood that the opening of Tesco last year, Hefei West Second Ring shop, is Tesco in Hefei stores the youngest, but also the shortest life of a store.

So what is the reason for the withdrawal of Tesco? For this reason, a official of Tesco management told reporters that the company decided to formally withdraw in September 26th because of the adjustment of the company's operation.

"This is not the first time Tesco has closed its stores. There were precedents in Shanghai and other places last year."

A person in charge of Anhui Retail Association told reporters that in fact, Tesco's business profits fell sharply last year, more than 10%, the first decline in recent years.

During the interview, reporters also learned that the withdrawal of Tesco was due to the conflict of interests between the supermarket and the shopping malls Property Management Company.

"The management still has many disputes in the court, which is a lot of trouble."

An insider told reporters.

The enclosed shopping malls are in a mess.

Many businessmen have been closed for a long time because of the public's conjecture.

Hefei West Second Ring business super killer?

From WAL-MART supermarket, West Ring department store and Suning Appliance Company, and then to the closing of Tesco, it is no wonder that Hefei's West Second Ring has become a super killer.

Why? Yesterday, reporters also interviewed.

Professor Chen of the school of economics and management, Anhui Finance and Economics University, told reporters that in the provincial capital city, for shopping plaza, the main thing is "people and", that is, the flow of people.

From the mature business circle in Hefei, there are not many mature business circles in the Second Ring Road, neither the West nor the East are as good as the north and south.

"For a business circle, the introduction of supermarkets or shopping malls is the key, and the rest of the retail industry is only an effective supplement."

Hefei University professor Zhao Jun told reporters, however, for a supermarket, there are still four important links in its success: location selection, supermarket store design, promotion and staff management.

Professor Zhao told reporters that from the perspective of Hefei's Second Ring Road, the East West Second Ring Road is more focused on the pport hub, and the north south ring is more livable.

From the cultural and social conditions, there are administrative areas in the South and living areas with suburban areas in the north. There are supporting facilities such as parks and schools nearby, which are beneficial to the gathering of the crowd.

From the perspective of consumption level, consumption in North and south is more potential than that in the East and West.

The vice president of the provincial Supplier Association said that the West Second Ring has its immature factors. "The geographical location, population living volume, business volume and so on are all different from the other two rings."

It is precisely because of these reasons that the West Second Ring business area is flawed. Developers can blindly introduce super business in order to improve their taste and value, and at a low price or zero rent. Once the contract is over, the supermarket that will not bring a very high profit for the business super market will have only the outcome of shutting down.

The huge shopping mall billboards were filled with commercial billboards, which are now empty.

Many of the people who came to patronize the scene were closed, sitting on a resting chair and seeing the evacuation of supermarkets and merchants here.
