Verma Sam'S Member Store Intends To Increase More Than 6 Stores In China In 3 Years.

WAL-MART, which has just experienced layoffs, is moving its China development vision to Sam's member store.

Sam, chief operating officer of WAL-MART China's Wen'an, said in an interview with the first Financial Daily reporters in December 17th that the 18 member Sam stores in China now have 11 stores and will increase 7 stores in Huaxin in the next 3 years.

And its own brand will be the main push strategy of Sam's member stores in the future. It plans to make about 20% of its own brand merchandise in the next 3 years.

And there is no major personnel adjustment plan for Sam's member store.

On the 17 day, WAL-MART's Sam brand store opened in Wuhan and became the first store in the central region of China, which is a successful high-end business format. It also opened eleventh Sam stores in China.

The shopping mall has an area of 23 thousand square meters, which includes fresh food, dry goods, household appliances, household clothes and other commodities.

Wuhan imported more than 30% of Sam's merchandise.

"Sam's member stores are different from general stores. The Sam store is a member of the system, and the goods are sold in larger packages, so as to speed up turnover and play the" 28 rule ", which is the 20% most effective product sales. Our global purchasing office has refined the operation and procurement of the commodity structure. Many imported goods previously bought in China and our own brand goods are now being introduced gradually, especially the private brand goods, which will be one of the biggest core competitiveness of our future Sam member store projects, because the price of private brand goods has advantages and quality is guaranteed.

Many of our own brand goods are all imported, such as the British brand milk.

Wen Ande told reporters that in order to ensure the operation of self - employed goods, Sam's member stores deliberately reduced about 1200 SKU (commodity category inventory management) in the recent year. Currently, its own brand goods account for about 6% of Sam stores, and plans to reach 20% after 3 years.

Recently, WAL-MART has been accused of cutting down the number of workers under the impact of electricity suppliers and consumption.

Wen Ande said that since last year, the company has made a structural adjustment and closed some regional procurement centers. The move is to develop more flat products, so that the centralized purchase office of 95% goods will be operated.

It is quite sensitive that it was widely spread.

Du Limin, vice president of China's Sam operations, was also on the list of adjusted personnel, but on the 17 day, Du Limin appeared at the Wuhan Sam member store event. Wen Ande said that there was no major staff adjustment plan at present.

"

It will be one of the key points of WAL-MART's future development in China. At present, Sam's member stores have opened 10 stores in Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Fuzhou, Dalian, Hangzhou and Suzhou.

In the next 3 years, 7 new Sam stores will be located in Shanghai, Changzhou and Changsha.

Wen Ande revealed.

According to 18 years to set up 11 stores and 3 years to open 7 stores, Sam member store is equivalent to 3 more years to add more than 60% Sam member stores.

The reporter noted that WAL-MART, which has been developing in leasing mode in China, has just decided to invest 600 million yuan in its own shopping center in Zhuhai, which includes Sam's member store.

Wen Ande said that the new Sam club in the future will not rule out the operation of the self ownership mode. Everything depends on the opportunity, but the franchising mode will not be considered.
