China in-store 2021 will be postponed

Currently, international travel to China still remains highly restricted, and the outbreak of COVID-19 continues to create uncertainties for retail brands in their offline expansion and sourcing plans. In view of the situation, the organizers have decided, after careful consideration, to postpone the 7th edition of China in-store (Shanghai’s International Trade Fair for Solutions and Trends all about Retail), originally scheduled to be held at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre from August 31st to September 2nd, 2021. The new date and planning will be announced in the coming weeks.

“Witnessing normally a high percentage of international exhibitors and visitors, we decide to postpone China in-store 2021 during the special period in order to gain more time on travel normalization, get well prepared to welcome the fully recovered retail industry and to build a higher quality sourcing and communication platform.” said by Marius Berlemann, General Manager of Messe Düsseldorf (Shanghai) Co., Ltd..

For the next edition, China in-store will continue to focus on innovative solutions in five dimensions: Shop Fittings & Store Design, Visual Merchandising, Retail Lighting, Smart Retail Technology and Retail Marketing. The innovative supporting programme, including Retail Stage, H!Tech Stage, ReTailor Hub, EuroShop RetailDesign Award China, Retail Technology Award China as well as Visual Merchandising Challenge will offer the opportunity for visitors to discuss hot topics with excellent solution providers, leading retail brands, shopping mall executives and academic experts.

In the next stage, Messe Düsseldorf Shanghai will organize a series of offline networking events to share retail industry insights and build deep connections. Meanwhile, the organizer will continue to work with trade media, associations, research institutes and the EuroShop Trade Fair Family to collect the latest and most comprehensive retail information for retail professionals and publish on China in-store official website, WeChat and LinkedIn so that retailers can keep up to date with the latest trends in the retail industry.

New bookstores in Shanghai turn the page on a new year

2021-02-03

A series of new bookstores in Shanghai opened during the Christmas and New Year holidays, showing a budding new ecology for brick-and-mortar literary shopping.

The first to open was the Tsukaya Bookstore at Columbia Circle in Changning district. This is the first store in Shanghai from Tsutaya Books, the largest bookstore chain in Japan.

Duoyun Books also celebrated a Christmas opening on Changle Road, next to the historical Lyceum Theatre, which is temporarily closed for refurbishment.

The store hosted a forum featuring theater artists, producers and industry leaders in the city in celebration of its grand opening.

Standing 239 meters above sea level, it is the highest bookstore in the city.

Last year, the Sinan Books and Duoyun Bookstore family added a new member in a former Orthodox church on Gaolan Road.

Another new member of the bookstore family in Shanghai is the Déjà Vu store. One of the most popular second-hand trading e-platforms in China, Déjà Vu has been popular on social media since its establishment three years ago.

In June Déjà Vu opened its first brick-and-mortar bookstore in Beijing, and in Shanghai the store hosted a preview during construction in August, attracting many curious visitors. On Dec 26 the store officially opened at 300 Anfu Road, and also deals in second-hand clothing. The innovative business model and environmentally friendly concept generated wide public interest.
