Unlike conventional stores, the dark store focuses on online orders and instant delivery. Local residents can receive high‑quality fresh produce in as little as half an hour with just a few taps on their phones.

The opening of the Freshippo outlet fills the gap of high‑quality instant retail in this area. It also adds new momentum to improving the business ecosystem and making residents' daily lives more convenient.

As Guiyang's first benchmark riverside cultural‑tourism project, the street breaks conventional commercial‑block planning. It features a mixed‑use commercial street integrating homestays and hotels, banquet restaurants, craft‑beer bars, entertainment facilities, as well as sports and leisure services.

The street will deepen government‑enterprise cooperation to revitalize idle resources, enrich business formats, and develop new regional consumption scenarios, contributing to Yunyan's high‑quality economic development.
