Meituan has announced an extensive expansion into the realm of instant retail, aimed at bolstering the quality and sophistication of emerging business models. As part of this strategy, Meituan Flash will partner with an even broader spectrum of retailers and brand owners to expand its network of stores and lightning warehouses. This collaboration will enhance the user experience across various categories, including 3C electronics and fresh produce. Elephant Supermarket, on the other hand, plans to extend its reach to all first- and second-tier cities, reinforcing the digitization of supply chains and aiming to encompass 200 county-level agricultural production areas. Furthermore, Meituan Select will concentrate on strategic regions, diving deeper into the fresh food and grocery supply chain. Notably, the overseas counterpart of Elephant Supermarket, Keemart, has commenced a pilot program in Saudi Arabia, with aspirations to expand into other regions.
