Brand Story
Founded in 1959, during the tenth anniversary of the People's Republic of China, Hefei Department Store was the first large-scale department store in Hefei. Initiated by the Hefei Municipal Commercial Bureau, it aimed to meet the growing material needs of citizens. At its opening, it quickly became the city's commercial center, known for its rich assortment, spacious environment, and state-owned credibility. During the planned economy era, it was a primary venue for rationed shopping, holding the daily life memories of several generations. After the reform and opening-up, it pioneered brand counters and self-service, advancing Anhui's commercial modernization. Culturally, it is not just a marketplace but a microcosm of urban development, reflecting the journey from scarcity to prosperity. The store has received honors like 'National Civilized Unit', though the official recognition as a China Time-honored Brand is yet to be confirmed.
