PARKnSHOP has taken the lead in China's supermarket revolution, keeping one step ahead of a growing consumer population. PARKnSHOP became the first foreign retailer in the China market in 1984, with the opening of its Shekou supermarkets. It opened its first Superstore in 2000 and more recently its largest Megastore, a 203,880-sq. ft. retail centre offering everything from fresh vegetables to air-conditioners, textiles, furniture and toys - everything but homes and cars - in the lively Tianhe district of Guangzhou.

The chain's familiar "P" logo serves as a symbol of the trusted position the PARKnSHOP brand has assumed for mainland shoppers.

The new PARKnSHOP Megastores are in line with an increasing consumer trend in China towards hypermarkets. The megastores combine the supermarket concept with discounted department stores where customers can enjoy a self-service shopping environment offering quality products at unbeatable prices.

Today, some 1 million shoppers visit a neighbourhood PARKnSHOP every week. With a broad presence in major cities like Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Dongguan, PARKnSHOP has been awarded the title of "Consumers Most Favourite Brand Shopping Centre" in southern China. .
