History[edit]
In South Korea[edit]
The first store was opened in 1997 in Deungchon, Seoul.[citation needed]
As of 2015, the chain had 112 branches in South Korea.[1] The number of stores, however, decreased sharply in the next few years. It decreased to 61 in 2018 and 45 in December 2019.[2] [3] VIPS recognized the crisis, and attempted various changes for sales growth through changing the store concepts and interior relevant to the targets that live near the store.[4]
In China[edit]
In 2015 CJ Foodville announced a plan to set up some 100 restaurants in China by 2017.[5]
