In measuring the sales performance of the stores, the speed of new store expansion is one of the indicators, and we also have the same store growth rate. The assessment of such aspects. In the current situation of this system, for the Watsons, the operation of the old shop is still very good."

Tu Jiahui said: "The new concept store is a new attempt in the industry, and there is a wider standard for the evaluation of concept stores, and this at least takes more than one year to reach a conclusion. Therefore, other new stores have not yet been considered. "The model." He also stressed that as long as consumers demand, does not rule out the development of new concept stores in second and third-tier cities.
