ROK's Largest Retailer to Set up Chain Store in Tianjin
The Shinsegae Co. Ltd. of the Republic of Korea (ROK) will invest US $60 million to set up an E-Mart Supercenter chain store in Tianjin, a port city in northern China.

It marked the first step toward a long-term strategic partnership between the Chinese Taida Group and the ROK's largest commercial distribution enterprise.

Kyung-Sang Lee, vice-president of Shinsegae, said his firm had great confidence in the Chinese market and hoped E-Mart could expand its chain store operation to the whole country with a base in Tianjin.

Shinsegae reported a combined sales volume of 43.3 billion yuan(US$5.2 billion) of its department stores and supermarkets. E-Mart has a 33 percent market share in the ROK, far ahead of Carrefour and Wal-Mart, two of the world's largest retail giants.

Taida, the city's top real estate company, is to cooperate with Shinsegae to establish six large supermarkets in Tianjin by 2006.
