Overview

An excellent opportunity to operate a licensed retail business on charming Wuyuan Road, one of Old Xuhui’s most desirable streets. This street-front shop comes with a valid business license that already permits retail, general merchandise (百货), and pre-packaged food sales (预包装食品).

Located in the heart of the Former French Concession (FFC), Wuyuan Road is known for its tranquil, tree-lined atmosphere, historic lane houses, and steady foot traffic from both discerning local residents and expats. This is not a high-volume tourist street – it’s a quality neighborhood location perfect for a curated retail concept.
