Summary:

The impact of the rise of pre-stocked warehouses ("前置仓") on the profitability of traditional brick-and-mortar convenience stores and supermarkets in China. Data reveals a decline in sales and store numbers for conventional retailers, while pre-stocked warehouses, offering fast delivery through platforms like Meituan, are experiencing rapid growth.

This shift forces many small, family-run stores to adapt or face closure, with some successfully transitioning online. In contrast, others struggle to compete with the larger, data-driven operations of the new model. The future outlook suggests intense competition and consolidation within the sector, with pre-stocked warehouses potentially dominating the market, especially in lower-tier cities.
