Grab a sandwich for breakfast at 7-Eleven before heading for the office? There is no better choice than a Taiwan Bento for a convenient and fulfilling lunch. Meeting friends for a cup of tea at STARBUCS in the afternoon? Buying personal health care products after office hours at COSMED? Don’t forget to fill up your empty gas tank at Smile Gas Station before you leave. Had a fine you had to pay before midnight? Head to the 7-Eleven located nearest your home….

This is a typical day for consumers in Taiwan; it is also a new lifestyle created by UPEC’s Logistic Sub-conglomerate.

Led by President Chain Store Corp., the Logistic Sub-conglomerate has integrated over 30 retail service subsidiaries under UPEC with a work force over 10,000 employees. Uni-President’s Logistic Sub-conglomerate is an energetic organization that has shown constant growth and its overall operational performances in recent years have even led to a major revolution in domestic logistic industries.

Beginning from the greeting of “Welcome!” uttered at the first 7-Eleven in Taiwan, there are now more than 4,000 7-Eleven franchise stores across the island. Begun as a traditional retail business, the Logistic Sub-conglomerate now commands over 30 subsidiaries. Presently, Uni-President’s Logistic Sub-conglomerate has extended its influences to all aspects of daily life for Taiwanese consumers and effectively started a revolution of lifestyle in Taiwan.

The vitality of Uni-President’s Logistic Sub-conglomerate comes from UPEC’s spirit of “Integrity, Diligence and Innovation for Progress”. With determination and resolve, we have aggressively pursued excellence to cultivate a unique culture for Uni-President staff. By utilizing innovative technology and incorporating consumer psychology and customer scenarios, the Logistic Sub-conglomerate seeks to satisfy consumer needs around the clock. It is this vibrant energy for innovation that has motivated the Logistic Sub-conglomerate to grow time and again. Furthermore, Uni-President’s Logistic Sub-conglomerate has combined the energy of a large enterprise and the spirits of a small business to engage in horizontal and vertical integrations so as to gradually build a solid foundation for prosperous growth.

However, Uni-President’ Logistic Sub-conglomerate’s ambition and vision is not only limited to its core business and the domestic market. To reach greater heights of growth, the Logistic Sub-conglomerate aggressively reaches out to establish international connections and branches its operations to other industries to collaborate with famous international brand names and introduce renowned retail services around the world in Taiwan so as to improve the domestic standards of consumption. Not only that, the Logistic Sub-conglomerate has successfully duplicated its operational Know-How to offshore companies such as Shanghai Coffee Company and Philippine Seven Corporation to further expand its international business territory.

In its vision for the future, the Logistic Sub-conglomerate focuses on its 7-Eleven franchise operation as its core and actively plan the expansion of its logistic territory to become a multidimensional chain corporation. We will strive to develop new distribution channels for shopping complexes and cultivate overseas markets through internationalization for a promising tomorrow.

1. Consolidating our core businesses to reach new heights
   With its formidable strengths and advantage in the management of logistic businesses, President Chain Store Corporation has relied on the management of 7-Eleven stores as its mainline of business to adopt the operational concepts of franchise management with the introduction of DUSKIN, Starbucks and the establishment of our own brand names such as COSMED. This has allowed President Chain Store Corporation to branch out to business in different domains and further integrate over 30 vertical and horizontal affiliated companies. Facing the challenges of the future, President Chain Store Corporation will lead the Logistic Sub-conglomerate in the pursuit of constant innovation and reformation and venture into different business territories towards the development of diversification and internationalization.
   Through the operational model of “Power Center”, President Chain Store Corporation has ensured optimal results from the integration of the Logistic Sub-conglomerate’s resources. With businesses of different nature, well-known brand names that most consumers are familiar with and advantages of professional franchise management, President Chain Store Corporation creates new business operation models. The Logistic Sub-conglomerate will start a new chapter of growth by integrating its resources and creating new distribution models through the establishment of shopping complexes.
   
   
2. Linking to the international market
   In 1990, President Chain Store Corporation acquired part of Philippine Seven Corporation’s stocks and established Shanghai Coffee Company in 2000. This was President Chain Store Corporation’s first effort to extend its branches of operation to the international market. Shortly afterwards, the T & T Supermarket in Canada joined the Logistic Sub-conglomerate. Utilizing President Chain Store Corporation’s experience in franchise management and the strengths of the Logistic Sub-conglomerate, T & T Supermarket achieved impressive results by identifying the local market environment and its needs. Presently, the Logistic Sub-conglomerate is also actively deploying operations in Mainland China, Southeast Asia, and North America. The process of internationalization is now under way.
   The Logistic Sub-conglomerate is working diligently to seek collaboration with renowned international brand names and is so far successful at localizing foreign operation models in Taiwan to bring a wider variety of new experiences for consumers in Taiwan. With the introduction of famous brand names and businesses such as Starbucks, Black Cat Takyubin, Duskin Taiwan, Muji (Taiwan), Mister Donuts, Yellow- Hat, Cold Stone Creamery, PLAZA, Uni-President Department Store Corp and so forth, it reflects Logistic Sub-conglomerate’s immense operational strengths as a trusted partner for major international enterprises.
