HitGoo

HitGoo appears in 中国迎来汉堡开店潮，国产黄柠檬价格回落 as the episode’s central soft-discount retail stress case. The source says the company had recently closed more than 20 Beijing stores and that third-party data suggested its nationwide store count might be below 40, even though its founder had claimed in 2024 that the chain had opened nearly 500 stores.

The case matters because it shows the fragility of discounting based on special supply. HitGoo’s model depends on close-dated goods, overstock, or other nonstandard inventory; when pandemic-era brand inventory pressure faded, that supply became harder to secure.
