不去大统华,都不知道村里还有这么多华人

你还别说,一个来自唐人街的老奶奶告诉我,今天中国城是空城。

我真为TNT的老板和经理们担心,先别赚得太狠了招惹是非,钱还是要慢慢赚. 来日方长. 
 
CBC又来报道盛况了.

Ottawa T&T Supermarket opens to huge crowds

Some customers outside the new store at 9 a.m. said they had been waiting two hours. The doors opened at 10:30 a.m. (Kate Porter/CBC) Hundreds of people flooded Ottawa's first T&T Asian supermarket on its opening day, overflowing into a line that snaked toward the parking lot.
Some said they had waited since 7 a.m. so they could surge inside when the new 51,000 square-foot store at Hunt Club Road and Riverside Drive in Ottawa's south end welcomed its first customers at 10:30 a.m.
Carter Chin, Justin Ngo and Shirley Huang arrived more than two hours early, hoping to get one of the $10 gift cards being handed out to the first 200 people in the store. They said they were "super-excited" when they heard the store was coming to Ottawa.
"It's awesome. It sells everything, right? Like sushi and dim sum — everything you can get in a grocery store," Huang said. Previously, she said, she and her friends would make the long trip to the T&T in Toronto if they wanted to buy Asian foods.
The new store, which stocks a wide variety of Asian and Western groceries, was the 18th location to open in the popular chain, which was recently bought by Loblaw. The store includes a live seafood section, counters that sell a variety of Asian takeout and a Chinese bakery.
Lobster sold out

The sprawling store was at capacity soon after opening, and people had to line up outside, as crowds of Asian Canadians continued to spill out of OC Transpo buses and family cars while police directed traffic in and out of the parking lot. Within 90 minutes, the store was sold out of 1,000 kilograms of lobster. By 4 p.m., a line still snaked around the back of the building. Store managers expected to serve 10,000 customers over the course of the day.
Yvonne Gu arrived in the morning and headed for the barbecue duck. She says with the new T&T, she won't need to shop in Chintown as much.
"T&T is very famous in the Chinese community. And we know the shopping environment is better than other Chinese supermarkets," Gu said, indicating that she finds it bigger, cleaner and more organized than stores in Chinatown.
But Eddie So, who owns an herbal shop in Chinatown called Ping Fat Lee, said he thinks Wednesday's crowds at the new store were just attracted the grand opening giveaways and the flashiness of something new.
"They always come back to Chinatown," he said, noting that T&T doesn't offer a restaurant or other gathering place. "Chinatown has a little bit different kind of atmosphere."
 
郁闷,酒都烫好了,猪耳朵没了,都是让这帮大叔大妈闹的。:D:D
 
我持有loblaws的股票,看今天的阵势放心啦:)
 
至于吗?
平时早上在Baseline上班空空的公交车,今上一开门上来20多个大爷大妈,到了大统华又一窝蜂的下去。看看外面排了长长的一队。
至于吗?就为了那么一袋大米?还是只是去凑热闹?平时除了逛菜市场,就没别的事可干了?子女也想想,为了那么一袋大米,就让大爷大妈那么早去排队,万一挤坏了老胳膊老腿,你舍得花钱治吗?
开个超市就跟过了节一样,生活贫乏不贫乏?没别的事干了吗?

还是168好啊!停车的地方大,店里环境也好,物美价廉,亲切的服务员态度又热情,唉。。。

你不是说梦话吧....
 
Marketing确实很成功, 不过10000这个数字过分了吧.我都没去,能上万吗?

其实TNT的公关和商业推广, 强势有余, 但缺和谐,很多公共主流媒体在表扬TNT的同时又在狠贬中国城的脏乱差, 这样不好, 会招惹仇家. 不利于我村安定团结的政治局面.
 
新店开业如此火爆,村民是为了自己的肚子还是十分有激情的~
希望大统华能保持自己的长处~

看看人家菜品摆滴多整齐:D 看着就舒服~
 
看看今天的T&T场面,感觉渥村里的老中真是饿惨了。

10,000有点夸张,但也差不了多少。。。

公关和商业推广有一套,顾客的忠诚度也不错。。。生意做到这样,联想到海尔在北美的全线赴败,harvard business school的case study进不了;北大,港大,台大business school的同学们应该研究研究。。。:D
 
今天有很多加拿大白人也来凑热闹.
 
哥儿这周末准备去多伦多大统华买点吃的去。有一起相应得没有?

老中喜欢扎堆,凑热闹。什么团购啊,gift card啊。都是一阵风。好像卖的最好的是龙虾。你说龙虾哪里没卖的?不就图个特价便宜嘛。
 
后退
