TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — Simple Mart Retail, a Taiwanese supermarket chain, has opened 19 select stores with Japanese drugstore operator Tomod's in April to increase its competitiveness against industry leaders.
Facing increased competition from the likes of PX-Mart and Carrefour Market, Simple Mart Retail has come up with a new scheme to attract grocery shoppers into its stores. By combing the concepts of a supermarket and a drugstore, the Taiwanese brand will begin selling cosmetic products along with food and daily necessities at a number of select locations.
