在成都，松弛与力量共同定义着城市的面貌：城市的一面，是午后阳光下喝茶漫步的惬意；转向蓉 城西岭的"雪山"，便展现出另一种景象——清冽、辽阔，充满向自然迸发的力量。 这种独特的地理与生活跨度，催生出独特的消费需求，也让成都人得以在两种节奏之间自如切换： 上午还在市区处理日常工作，下午便能在雪山脚下开启徒步、越野跑或滑雪的另一种运动生活姿态。悠 闲与强劲、松弛与野性，在这里相得益彰。 也因此，2025年11月29日，迪卡侬选择在这座"雪山下的公园城市"揭幕其亚洲首家户外概念店。门 店落位成都来福士广场，不仅是一处零售空间，更像是连接城市与户外的"生活入口"：让专业装备与真 实场景在这里汇集，让自然以更可触、更贴近的方式真正"走进"城市生活。 迪卡侬户外概念店的开业得到了四川省商务厅、成都市商务局、成都市体育局、法国驻成都总领事 馆的支持；中国欧盟商会、四川省登山户外协会、成都市冰雪运动协会、成都市攀岩协会、成都市登山 运动协会、成都市飞盘运动协会、天府新区长跑运动爱好协会等外商协会和本地运动协会亦对本次开业 表示支持与祝贺。 为什么是成都？这座城市正在焕新户外生活版图 成都，这座"窗含西岭千秋雪"的城市，正以山水 ...

在中国市场风光了几年，迪卡侬最终还是没禁住打工人的马屁，在开店和打折之间选择了涨价。 按照第三方统计，2022到2024年，迪卡侬中国产品均价从128提到196元，涨幅52%[1]，个别抓绒衣涨幅达100%。 去年，迪卡侬更推出一辆69999元的公路自行车，有种不知道五菱宏光MINIEV官方指导价3.58万的美感。 涨价是个正常的经营决策，消费品公司涨价也不是新鲜事，但迪卡侬的特殊性在于，它是一家以性价比路线起家的运动用品公司，沙县小吃突然要转型 Omakase，被消费者骂得晕头转向也能理解。 消费品零售商通常分为两种，一种是纯粹的经销商：用自己的店卖别人的货，比如国内的滔搏体育，80%的收入来自卖耐克和阿迪达斯；二是用自己的店 卖自己的货，比如胖东来和山姆，迪卡侬也在此列。 创办之初，迪卡侬是一个纯粹的体育用品经销商，销售阿迪达斯、标志等品牌的产品。迪卡侬的开创性是在城乡结合部开直营大门店，通过大规模采购和 高周转模式，压低价格。 凭借低廉的价格，迪卡侬在法国大本营一炮打响，但也遇到了一个严重的问题：低价破坏了品牌的价格体系。 对大部分消费品来说，产品定价与品牌形象高度绑定，也与经销商体系的稳定运行息息相关 ...

11月29日，迪卡侬亚洲首家户外概念店落地成都来福士广场，这里不仅是一处零售空间，更像是连接城 市与户外的"生活入口"：让专业装备与真实场景在这里汇集，让自然以更可触、更贴近的方式真正"走 进"城市生活。 在成都，松弛与力量共同定义着城市的面貌：城市的一面，是午后阳光下喝茶漫步的惬意；转向蓉城西 岭的"雪山"，便展现出另一种景象——清冽、辽阔，充满向自然迸发的力量。 迪卡侬/供图 焕新户外生活版图 2023年，《成都市户外休闲运动总体规划》正式发布，系全国首个超大城市户外休闲运动专项规划。从 西岭雪山到青城后山，从城市绿道到社区公园，成都正以产业化、系统化的方式重塑人们与自然的关 系。 迪卡侬将亚洲首家户外概念店落地成都，打造户外爱好者的前哨集结地，这不仅是市场判断，更是精准 洞察：当户外运动从"远足探险"变为"城市日常"，当装备不再是专业玩家的专属，而是每个周末体验自 然的伙伴。 走进门店入口，独特的户外空间氛围便扑面而来。由山形线条勾勒的视觉语言层叠延展，像是把远处的 西岭雪山轻轻"搬"入城市中央，让人一入店便自然切换到户外模式。 继续向内，中央区域被打造为这家户外概念店的"体验核心"，山野实验室与攀岩指 ...
