As a result of this, a digital Teacher Copy of the case is not available through this web site. China's 5th biggest domestic retailer faced intensifying competition from Wal Mart and Carrefour with the opening of China's fast-growing retail market in January 2005. Like hypermarkets, Hualian Family Stores contain both food and nonfood lines, but differ in the brand and product mix that would be carried and in design. Results from the pilot shop (a remodeled hypermarket in Beijing) were supporting, with revenues and profits up and customers spending more on each visit.
The business must decide how to quickly open Family Stores in China. This case can be found only in hard copy (HBP does not have digital distribution rights to the content). Consequently, a digital Teacher Duplicate of the case isn't available by means of this web site.
