Inside Li Ming's Global Mart: the Massive Chinese Supermarket Giving Super G a Run for Its Money
By Marcus Vance
Locals perpetually debate which Triad market commands supremacy. The truth rests in how each store curates its inventory. Super G Mart built its reputation on multi-continental diversity, balancing Korean pantry goods with dedicated Latin American, African, and Eastern European aisles. Li Ming’s, by contrast, operates with deep, focused verticality, prioritizing mainland Chinese, Taiwanese, and Southeast Asian supply lines while matching the physical scale of its rival.
