Since the beginning of this year, brands such as Dong Mingzhu Healthy Home, Freshippo, and Baking Memory have expanded to Zhangdian District, Zibo, Shandong Province, where 86 first stores have firmly established their presence.

The flourishing "first-store economy" is credited to the ongoing refinement and meticulous fostering of the business environment in Zhangdian District. To address the challenges associated with complex standards and numerous steps for site inspection during the application for food business permits in new retail models, the Zhangdian District Bureau of Administrative Examination and Approval Service promptly formed a dedicated team to proactively meet business requirements.

Looking ahead, Zhangdian District plans to continuously enhance and extend its services, focusing on emerging trends such as trendy dining concepts, national style fashion, digital lifestyle, and immersive entertainment formats, aiming to attract more distinguished brands.

Adopting integrated models such as "first store + shopping district", "first store + cultural innovation zone", and "first store + night economy", Zhangdian District is embedding the "first-store economy" into urban expansion strategies, portraying a revitalized vision of lasting commercial vibrancy.
