Lianhua said this “remarkable performance” was mainly due to “continuous improvement in operation, enhancement in consolidation and efficiency, and centralised management of funds.”
The group’s turnover reached CNY14bn, up 7.8%. Lianhua opened 206 stores during the first half of the year but said same-store sales increased by 8.6% year-on-year.
Same-store sales at Lianhua’s hypermarket business grew by 9.6% and at its supermarkets were up 7.2%. The retailer’s convenience stores saw same-store sales increase 5.7%.
