JD.com said its 7FRESH supermarket had entered Shanxi province with its first outlet in Taiyuan’s Gongyuan Times City Shopping Centre. The retailer said it would also introduce its “1+N” model to the market, using the new branch as a core offline experience centre supported by satellite outlets across the city. JD.com said the format would create a more efficient instant retail network by linking the main site with surrounding locations to improve fulfilment and customer reach. (Jiemian)
