The lack of guidance and other reasons has led to a great degree of difficulty in the integration of the temple road and the prosperity of the ancestral temple road.

"Site selection is not proper, business format is single, brand combination is not suitable for local consumption habits, and marketing is not positive for local department stores. Just in time for department stores, winter is the main reason for Foshan friendship's defeat of" Mai Cheng ".

The industry stressed.

In fact, many commercial retail giants have lost the precedent of Foshan.

In May of this year, the Nanhai store of shinguang department, which was stationed in Foshan for less than two years, lost its fortune. In 2005, the modern department store City Plaza Shop, which opened less than two years ago, withdrew from Foshan. In 2003, the Tian Da Nan Da department store, which had just completed one year, withdrew from Foshan.

In view of this, before announcing a store in Foshan, Tianhe City department store, Guangzhou 100, Wangfujing department store and other shopping malls have not yet seen any big moves.
