Time stops, traditional department stores closed stores

On March 25 this year, Yilongdan Department Store Co., Ltd., Shanghai Meilong Town, announced that it would officially terminate its business on June 30, 2024.This time, many Shanghai citizens sighed.

As one of the earliest foreign department stores in the Mainland, Isendan was once a symbol of fashion and trend, and took the lead in introducing a number of Japanese and overseas brands.Especially Incean, Meilong Town, the Meilong Town Plaza and the surrounding CITIC Taifu and Hang Lung Square have formed the “Meitai Hengjin Triangle”, which is a representative of Shanghai’s high -end business.

During the Qingming small holiday, Incean, Meilong Town launched a clearance promotion to accelerate the retreat.butCompared with the “nostalgic wind” of the Internet, the heat in the mall is not so highOnly some counters have ushered in a batch of sweeping customers, and most of them are the most cost -effective Japanese products.

“Time seems to have stagnated here.” Ms. Lu worked on office buildings on Nanjing West Road. She had lunch at Ishidan, Meilong Town at noon.Daily life.But after going to another company, it has not been here for about seven or eight years.“I heard that I was about to close the store, I just wanted to take a look again. I didn’t expect that the brands and layouts here have not changed, or they look like that year. Traditionally, low -key but lacking new ideas, no wonder there is no one now.”

Beauty on the first floor, beauty and underwear on the second floor, on the third floor and above are basically clothing, shoes, bags and accessories. Many brands make young people feel strange.Grocery, restaurants and beauty shops are randomly distributed on each floor. Except for Manchu desserts on the fifth floor, other restaurants are hidden in the corner, and there are basically no guests.Only supermarkets and food streets on the ground floor are more popular.The coastal king saw on the Internet that young consumers who came from hearing news bluntly said,“Old -style malls are both vision, like returning to the last century”Essence

Not only Ise Dan.On February 18 this year, Shanghai Sixth Department Store officially closed the store after its business. It was on the side of it. Pacific Department Store, which has been operating for 30 years, bid farewell to Shanghai consumers last year.Prior to this, Pacific Department Store Huaihai Store, Xinke Station Store, and Land Square closed stores.In other cities, it is not uncommon to close the door of department stores.

The main experience of experiencing the rise

Shanghai is the birthplace of modern Chinese department store formats.First Ship Department Store, one of the four major companies in Nanjing Road, is the ancestor of the Shanghai Department Store industry.In 1995, the first eighty Bai opened, this is the first large -scale department store in China to jointly joint venture in China.Since then, the department store format has ushered in the “golden age”.

However, with the rise of e -commerce, people can easily shop through mobile phones, without having to spend time to go to physical stores, and large shopping malls are opened in various corners of the city to provide diversified shopping, catering, entertainment and experience places.Attracted a lot of consumers.The competitiveness of department stores has been seriously challenged.

Industry insiders said that many veteran stores have opened for more than ten years or even decades. Their decoration is often old, and the proportion of formats is relatively traditional. It is mainly based on traditional products such as clothing and home department stores.With the change of the times and the upgrading of consumer demand, this traditional business model has difficulty to meet the needs of modern consumers.“Now consumers’ demand is not only the product itself, but also values the comfort, convenience and interest in the shopping process. This is precisely the shortcomings of department stores.”

Compared with the continuous closing stores of traditional department stores,Shanghai’s shopping malls have opened more, bigger, and fartherEssenceAccording to statistics from the Shanghai Shopping Center Association, as of the end of 2023, there were 381 existing shopping malls (more than 30,000 square meters), with a total construction area of 2825.76 square meters.Among them, there are 16 super -large shopping malls with more than 200,000 square meters, including Lujiazui Shanghai Center, Shanghai Global Port, Pentagon, and Nanxiang Impression City.

Today, the shopping mall has become the main force of physical business.In 2024, Shanghai will add another 52 shopping malls with more than 30,000 square meters(Including the old renovation project), five new cities are the main area, and 40 new projects are small and medium -sized shopping centers with less than 100,000 square meters.Parent -child, Yi Lao, food, sports competition, entertainment trainingWaiting for multiple segmented areas, the community business that focuses on the needs of citizens.

Rich business combination harvested offline traffic

The core advantage of high -energy players in shopping mall is to provide consumers with good space environmental services through the collection of different formats, create highlights of scene topics, attract consumers, retain consumers, and become a collection of offline traffic.

As the largest shopping mall in the central urban area of Shanghai, in 2023, Shanghai Global Port was sold in annual sales revenue20.3 billion yuanThe good results surpassed 17.1 billion yuan in Shanghai Hang Lung Square, and settled in the throne of the Shanghai commercial sales list.From the “big and soil” that was “laughed at” ten years ago, to today’s “Crown Crown” and “Popular King”, what did Shanghai Global Port do right?

Entering Global Port, its area is large and full of functions, which is amazing, as if it is a giant aircraft carrier with commercial functions.According to reports,Global Port is constantly adjusting the brand format every year, and the average annual new rate is close to 10%.In 2023, more than 30 first stores were introduced, including Tomo -Playing collection shop tomato pockets, DIY hand -made brand HOWOW D2Y, weaving Hanfu, etc., injecting full kinetic energy for the active consumption index, and also harvested the huge passenger traffic for the mall.Essence

Breaking through the traditional shopping center model, Shanghai Global Port will alsoDiversified art activityIncorporate daily business operations, and has gradually mastered the happy password of young people’s “interest consumption”.The 4th floor entertainment hall was upgraded. At the beginning of the year, the national pattern roller skating championship was ushered in. It also introduced the “symphony concert”, popular stage drama, the Louvre collection art exhibition, the legendary Picasso art exhibition and other exhibitions.The applause is also known as the cross -border integration and trend gathering of Shanghai’s multiculturalism.

Also mainly mainly play all -aged customer base, Hongqiao Nanfeng City is used to useParent -child formatTo cut the entrance, use“Baby Economy”Drive the consumption needs of the entire family and increase consumer viscosity.In the 9th year of opening, the atrium of Hongqiao Nanfeng City is 6 to 7 IPs each year. The familiar cartoon authorization IP has basically used it.Focusing on parent -child, various formats from retail, catering to education and entertainment experience in the mall are all available, and the brand is quite complete.“Puxi Parent -Child Shopping Mall”The benchmark image.

The IP exhibition of “Exploration of Leopard Tibetan Forest” in Nanfeng City is quite popular

In order to allow the parents of “baby” to settle down to shop, and truly turning “traffic” into “retention”, Hongqiao Nanfeng City has also moved a lot of brains.For example, at the same time as the atrium is the IP, it has set up a flash area for the car brand, realizes the consumption experience of “mothers and dads, and dads watch the car”, and create traffic for their own physical stores.for exampleIn non -winter and summer vacation, introducing art IPs, attracting surrounding white -collar workers, enriching the source of customers, creating opportunities for non -catering shops, etc.Essence
