Yonghui was founded in 2000 with the concept of offering consumers fresh produce in a clean and service-oriented supermarket environment, superior to the traditional street-based wet markets. Leveraging this positioning, Yonghui has been able to successfully expand into multiple provinces. Yonghui currently operates 181 stores and is the largest Shanghai A-share listed supermarket and the fifth largest Shanghai A-share listed retailer across all formats, by market capitalization. The Asian Venture Capital Journal (AVCJ) is a leading source of information on the private equity and venture capital markets in the Asia-Pacific region. Winners of this year’s AVCJ Annual Awards were determined through a combination of industry voting, a judging panel composed of institutional investors and the editors of AVCJ. Mr. William Shen, Senior Partner, Headland Capital Partners and Vice Chairman, Yonghui Superstores, commented, “I would like to express my deepest and most sincere gratitude to the team at Yonghui for their relentless efforts in the pursuit of excellence and to achieve the company vision – To become a leader in the vertical integration of modern agricultural distribution and retailing; To become the most well respected and best employer in China’s retail industry.
