哎？Costco在上海开业一周遭会员们疯狂退卡( 四 )_

尽管有这些优势，但是外来的新超市要想在中国念好经并不容易。早先已经有沃尔玛、家乐福等外来超市占据了市场。而中国的盒马鲜生、永辉等本土超市形成的上线下新零售的业态，也是Costco的有力竞争者。

But despite the early buzz around its Shanghai store， the US retailer will have to prove it can stick around for the long haul． It has to contend not only with global rivals like Walmart （WMT） and big Chinese players like Alibaba and JD.com， but also with China‘s rapid economic changes and its growing online retail industry．
