Qdama

Qdama (钱大妈) is a community fresh-food retail chain in China built around a strict "no overnight meat" daily-clearance model, which it pioneered in the traditional wet-market sector and later scaled through a "direct-operated + franchise" network . As of late 2019 it was considered an absolute top-tier brand in the domestic community fresh-food industry, with over 1,650 stores across Guangdong, Shanghai, Wuhan, Hong Kong and other regions, and 2019 revenue expected to exceed RMB 7 billion—roughly double the prior year—on a compound annual growth rate of 277% since 2012 . Its product mix spans vegetables, fruit, meat, aquatic and frozen goods, and prepared foods, totaling more than 500 SKUs . The company raised a nearly RMB 1 billion Series D in December 2019 led by Cornerstone Capital, with follow-on participation from Taikang Life, Qicheng Capital and others, and used the capital for regional expansion, online development, supply-chain integration and a national warehousing network . Gaorong Ventures, which had led Qdama's Series C, placed its consumer investment head Han Rui onto the company's board after that round . The freshest material in elsewhere's corpus dates to early 2020, when Qdama was actively keeping stores open to secure food supply during the initial COVID-19 outbreak .
