About Lianhua Supermarket Holdings Co., Ltd.

Lianhua Supermarket Holdings Co., Ltd. is one of China's oldest food retail chains: it opened its first store in Shanghai in 1991 and in 2003 became the first Chinese supermarket chain listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (0980). It belongs to Bailian Group, the state-owned retail conglomerate that is Shanghai's largest commercial group.

The company operates three main formats under several brands: hypermarkets under the Century Mart banner, supermarkets under the Lianhua Supermarket and Hualian Supermarket brands, and convenience stores under the Lianhua Quik brand, alongside its online sales channel. According to its most recent annual report, the group operated more than 3,100 outlets, concentrated in eastern China and present in numerous provinces.

Beyond retailing, Lianhua also sells merchandise to wholesalers and provides logistics services supporting the wholesale business. It is headquartered on Zhen Guang Road in Shanghai, and its brand website, 962828.com — a number matching its customer service hotline — presents the chain and its stores in Chinese.
