Convenience store is a ray of fireworks in the city

How "convenient" is your city? Recently, the China Chain Management Association released the "2022 China City Convenience Store Development Index". Its core data is the saturation of 39 key cities, the growth rate of the total number of stores, the proportion of 24 -hour convenience stores, and the business environment. From a comprehensive result, the development indexes of convenience store development indexes in Xiamen, Taiyuan, Dongguan, Guangzhou, and Changsha are ranked among the top five.

In recent years, my country's urbanization has made rapid progress. At the end of 2021, the urbanization rate of the permanent population in my country was 64.72%, while the data in 2000 was only 36%. In the past, this is a direct data result of my country's social development in recent decades. In the big, this is a historic leap from the Chinese people's shift from rural civilization to urban civilization.

If you see the development of the city from the perspective of convenience stores, it is actually a very interesting and valuable perspective. In 2021, the size of my country's convenience stores reached 253,000. In terms of saturation of urban convenience stores, Dongguan and Changsha separated the first and second place for the average 2052 people and 2076 people/stores, surpassing Japan, which is famous for convenience stores.

At present, the reason why people pay attention to convenience stores is because this represents the most basic indicators of the quality of the city: the convenience and comfort of life. Guo Yi, a professor at the School of International Economics and Management of Beijing University of Technology, believes that cities are an important space carrier for people's lives to modernize; urbanization enables people to have lower -cost public infrastructure and share higher -quality public services.

The big city is not just a high -rise building and a four -way, but the tolerance and comfort at the end of the fine branches.累了，举目望去，可以找到石凳、木椅、凉亭歇一歇脚；渴了，手机一搜，可以在周边找到便利店、小卖部买一瓶水；内急了，可以抬头看到指示牌， Find the bathroom smoothly ...

These very life -oriented scenes are the foundation of a goodwill for citizens, passengers, and migrant workers to a city. When you come to a city, convenience stores, public toilets, and parks are surrounded by your side reasonably, and you will feel that this kind of city is taking the initiative to take care of you, there is a kind of home warmth and comfort. This is the city's city. Soft power.

Strictly speaking, the convenience of convenience stores is not planned, but spontaneously growing, which is born in the city's internal connection. If the city manager can play on what kind of subjective initiative can be used for this kind of growth, and what kind of help is it, it is to create a friendly, healthy, and sustainable micro -enterprise business environment with your heart.

A very simple truth: If the convenience store wants to "stay", the operating income must always be profitable? The cost of rent, taxes and fees should not be too high, right? And to maintain long -term vitality, the surrounding demolition and construction plan must always have a certain stability, and give the merchant a visible continuous operational expectation? These are all soils that grow naturally in convenience stores. The administrative department cannot open a convenience store in person, but it can cultivate this soil.

Of course, convenience stores are not as good as possible. It is associated with factors such as the population base, population density, and residential consumption habits of a city. Convenience stores, as the name suggests, are the convenience of life for the people. They should focus on the actual needs of the people and their personal experience. They must pay more attention to practicality, rather than glitter ornamental.

Because of this, the pursuit of small infrastructure like convenience stores cannot just stay in large and "high". One -sidedly believes that beautiful, dazzling, and high -end represent urban civilization. Some too luxurious stores often make ordinary consumers discouraged. When the people's payout rate is insufficient, they will turn the development of these stores in turn. In the final analysis, the convenience store still needs to be popular and grounded.

It is often said that the steel cement of the city is cold, but the food taste, the noise and lively of the human language, isn't it the warm and tricky flow of the food? Convenience stores are a ray of fireworks in the city. It not only storages the interaction of people and things, but also exudes the interaction of people, conveying a strong human atmosphere and humanity.
