In this article (6)
China’s leading convenience store chain, Meiyijia, is propelling its expansion into Southeast Asia with the launch of its first stores in Vietnam under a fresh international brand, Ohmee.
Marking the company’s maiden retail venture beyond China, three stores have already been established in Vietnam’s capital city, Hanoi. Ohmee has plans for further growth through franchising, adopting the successful business model that allowed Meiyijia to rapidly scale to a massive network of stores within its domestic market.
Meiyijia’s Impressive Growth
Meiyijia, birthed in Guangdong in 1997, has evolved into one of China’s most powerful convenience store chains. It boasts a vast network exceeding 40,000 stores. The key drivers of the company’s domestic growth have been its dense urban coverage and high supply chain efficiency.
The Retail Landscape in Vietnam
The convenience store market in Vietnam is dominated by major chains such as Circle K, GS25, Ministop, and 7-Eleven. With its entry into this competitive market, Meiyijia, under its Ohmee brand, intends to make a significant impact. Reports suggest that the company’s expansionary activities are not limited to Vietnam, with Malaysia also being on their radar.
