2002/01/01

The huge developments in northern Beijing and continuing influx of new residents are providing a huge financial shot in the arm for the commercial sector of the Asian Games Village in particular -witness the recent opening of a clutch of shopping plazas, supermarkets and Huatang Shopping Center.

Three supermarket branches opened last October alone, with Pricemart also said to be planning a new store. The village is also a potential site for a Wal-Mart outlet, which plans to open a number of stores in Beijing late this year or early in 2003, reports Beijing Morning Post.
