Brand Story
Furenlou was founded in Shandong, with its exact founding year yet to be officially verified. According to legend, during the Qianlong reign of the Qing Dynasty (1736-1795), a Shandong merchant named Wang opened a general store in Jinan Prefecture, naming it 'Furenlou', meaning 'blessings for all'. Adhering to honest business practices and selling genuine goods at fair prices, Wang gradually won the trust of the local community. During the Tongzhi reign (1862-1874), Furenlou expanded its operations, adding goods from north and south, and became a well-known local firm. In the Republican era (1912-1949), the third-generation heir, Wang Dehou, introduced modern management and focused on brand reputation, allowing Furenlou to survive the turbulent times. After the founding of New China, Furenlou underwent public-private partnership and later resumed its time-honored operations. Furenlou has witnessed the commercial evolution of Shandong, embodying the Lu merchant tradition of 'valuing righteousness over profit'. Its name itself is a promise to customers.
“Furenlou, blessings for all.”
