经济观察报· 2025-12-01 07:10
过去半个月,沃尔玛旗下自有品牌"沃集鲜"的广告占据了广州、上海等城市多个地铁通道。"从小 逛到大的超市""自家品牌,好品质吃一口就知道"等标语,试图唤醒一代人对沃尔玛超市(下称"沃 尔玛")的集体记忆。 11月17日,沃尔玛中国宣布旗下自有品牌"沃集鲜"全面升级,近一年推出近千款新品(包含升级 产品),覆盖生鲜、食品、饮料等核心品类。同时,沃尔玛中国还明确将持续加码对沃尔玛超市门 店改造与全渠道建设投入。 作为1996年就进入中国市场的零售巨头,沃尔玛见证了中国零售业的兴衰起伏。但是作为大卖场 业态,沃尔玛近年也在面临客流和营收下降、竞争加剧等挑战。 中国连锁经营协会发布的数据显示,沃尔玛中国拥有沃尔玛超市和山姆两个品牌,截至2025年4月 30日,共有334家门店,与2019年的442家相比减少了108家。其中,仓储会员店品牌山姆在中国近 年来一直在快速扩店,与之对应的沃尔玛超市则在收缩门店数量。 沃尔玛中国显然没有放弃"沃尔玛",而从商品、店型着手,再造沃尔玛,其中也不乏对山姆经验 的"平移"。 沃尔玛中国显然没有放弃"沃尔玛",而从商品、店型着手,再 造沃尔玛,其中也不乏对山姆经验的"平移"。 作者: ...
