SPAR China partner Jiajiayue has opened a flagship store in Wuyue Plaza in Bincheng, Binzhou city.
Jiajiayue is a strategic alliance brand partner of Wuyue Plaza, which opened in October of this year.
The new outlet is located in the city's busy business district dotted with catering outlets, entertainment experience, boutique retail, and supermarkets.
SPAR Store
The new store sits on a sales space of more than 3,000 square-metres, offering an assortment of fresh vegetables and fruits, live fish and seafood, cold fresh meat, and freshly cooked 'to-go' food items.
Shoppers can also buy non-food products, such as household cleaning, personal skincare, and daily essentials.
The hypermarket sources goods from the regional partner’s logistics and fresh food processing centre.
The store provides home delivery through third-party platforms such as Meituan and the Jiajiayue Youxian platform to meet customers’ convenience needs, SPAR added.
