尽管以歪马送酒为代表的酒类即时零售被业内认为是能够提升商品动销的新机会，但在该"蓝海"渠道 中，保真及客单价较低的问题正挑战歪马送酒的"神经"。12月16日，北京商报记者在黑猫投诉平台查询 发现，部分消费者反馈在歪马送酒平台所购产品，与此前在其他渠道购酒味道存在差异，疑似假酒。 在保真问题尚待验证的同时，北京商报记者走访部分歪马送酒线下门店及登录其线上小程序发现，目前 歪马送酒推荐的产品多贴有"低价"标签。作为美团旗下酒水即时零售品牌，歪马送酒以平均15分钟送达 的高效服务，持续挑战传统经销渠道的"底线"。但同时，从线上轻量化的"送酒平台"，到线下拥有超过 2000个前置仓实体网络，歪马送酒也面临诸如保真、客单价较低等问题。 "低价"标签 在位于北京东四附近的歪马送酒门店外，身着黄色工服的员工正在整理货物，在这些货物中，啤酒成为 主角。走进店内，超20款酒类产品整齐码放在前置仓中，工作人员则在后台处理着消费者的线上下单需 求。 值得注意的是，在店内码放的产品中，啤酒占绝大部分。该店店员表示："目前消费者较多选购的产品 主要集中在啤酒品类，客单价相对较低。很多消费者选择歪马送酒主要看中价格优势。尤其在平台打价 ...

清晨的早餐咖啡，午间便当，下班后的零食酒饮——便利店已与现代都市生活深度绑定。 便利店正经历着从规模扩张到价值再造的深度调整。 在消费市场快速迭代下，便利店业态也成为零售业耀眼的增长极。 据国家统计局消息，1-11月份，社会消费品零售总额456067亿元，增长4.0%。按零售业态分，1-11月份，限额以上零售业单位中便利店、超 市、百货店、专业店、品牌专卖店零售额同比分别增长6.0%、4.7%、0.7%、3.4%、0.1%。 可以看出，便利店业态依然是涨幅最高的，以6%的同比增速领跑所有零售业态。 但数据增长的背后，压力同样显现。即时零售闪电仓、零食折扣店等新业态加速分流便利店客群，行业同质化竞争日趋白热化。在这关键时期，品牌连锁 便利店又该如何进化？ 01 连锁品牌加速拓店，新玩家、多业态分流 从市场发展角度看，我国连锁便利店的规模还在不断增长。根据中国连锁经营协会此前对43家便利店委员企业摸底调查后发布的数据显示，便利店企业发 展趋势总体向好。首先，销售同比增长企业依然占比过半，达到67.4%。同时，门店数持续增加，2025上半年，净增门店4093个，其中千家门店以上规模 的企业净增3651个，占净增门店 ...
