Yonghui Superstores
永辉超市
Yonghui Superstores is a Chinese fresh-food supermarket chain that, as of 2017–2018 reporting, was outperforming larger-format rivals on efficiency metrics: its same-store sales were growing while RT-Mart's declined for three consecutive years, and its sales-per-square-meter reached roughly ¥11,155 in 2017 versus RT-Mart's ¥8,212 . The company was founded in 2001 in Fuzhou and built its early reputation on fresh produce, expanding through a "super species" hybrid model combining retail with dining experiences. In the late 2010s it attracted strategic investment from Tencent, which took a roughly 5% stake as part of a broader alliance against Alibaba's Hema fresh-retail push. The chain has since faced operational turbulence, including a failed experiment with MINISO-style discount outlets and a 2023–2024 turnaround effort that brought in a former JD executive as CEO. Xu Wei, formerly Yonghui's finance director, left to found fintech startup Caidecai and has been featured in Source Code Capital's executive education programs on business-finance integration .
