Product sourcing and distribution product sourcing we manage the purchase of the products we sell and set the standard, we purchase our products from more than 1,200 suppliers and suppliers.
We believe that our scale is sufficient to generate meaningful cost savings in product acquisitions, which is reflected in the commitment of all our stores to \"daily low prices.
We have a lot.
Maintain a long-term partnership with national and own brand suppliers and believe our supplier relationship is strong.
Our strong supplier relationships support our differentiated sales strategy.
Many of our national brands and private brand suppliers have provided us with clubs-pack and bulk-
They don\'t have the size sku available to traditional grocery stores other than single
What we offer is not the unit product sold by the warehouse club.
These products enable us to provide a wider range of product sizes than our competitors and provide significant savings to our customers.
Our smart and Finalstores purchase products from the network of national brand companies, regional and local brands, as well as private label suppliers purchased strategically.
We seek to obtain high quality products at acquisition cost, thus maintaining our pricing target.
We strive to maintain a close working relationship with key suppliers to reduce product and distribution costs, and we believe that our sales volume and growth provide a unique opportunity to achieve continuous synergies.
Our smart and Finalstores do not rely on any individual supplier, and in the fiscal year 2018, no product supplier accounted for more than 2% of our smart and Finalbanner sales costs.
For our 66 smart food service companies, we use a hybrid procurement model to achieve operational efficiency.
Smartfood service agreement specifies all products for our store and we operate under the agreement with the unified grocery store(
Unified Grocer]
Subsidiaries of Supervalu, Inc.
Therefore, the Unified Grocer is the main sourcing and warehouse supplier for our groceries and perishable products.
Where applicable, a unified grocery store purchases products and maintains inventory in its warehouse facilities, filling out orders for smart food service stores as needed.
This arrangement leverages the purchasing power of the unified grocery store and allows our smart food service store to transfer maintenance of warehouse inventory to third parties.
About 81% of product demand (
Measured by cost)
In fiscal 2018 and 2017, our smart food service stores were all made through our relationship with the unified grocery store.
Our smart food service store also buys certain products by reaching an agreement with two other suppliers based on more traditional suppliers.
We believe that these relationships can be replicated in similar economics if necessary.

By design, our distribution centers and third-party operations networks have the flexibility to support our expected growth.
We believe we have new store growth opportunities in ourExtra! format.
We have confirmed.
Long-term growth opportunities in our existing markets
Long-term opportunities in neighboring markets.
We believe that our flexible approach to the size of our stores and the ability to leverage a variety of existing real estate provides us with the flexibility to choose a site, including entering new development projects, \"Second-use\" store space previously operated by other retailers, such as traditional grocery stores, office supply stores and e-retailers, and non-
Retail store website for retail stores.
We believe that our value positioning enables us to serve customers of different groups of people, allowing us to flexibly select new websites.
We have strict procedures for the location of new stores, including
Conduct an in-depth analysis of regional demographics, competition, growth potential, modes of transport, grocery consumption and other key criteria.
We have a dedicated, experienced real estate sourcing and development team that is supervised by our senior management members, including our CEO and CFO.
Our senior management members have also gone on.

We are eager to open up a new smart and ultimate extra feature!
Store and relocate one or two legacySmart & Finalstores to an extra location!
Format the store for fiscal 2019 and plan to continue opening more new stores in the foreseeable future.
At the same time, we also plan to expand opportunities on the basis of intelligent catering services.
We expect to open four new smart food service stores in the fiscal year 2019, and continue to open more new stores in the foreseeable future.
Our typical customers are looking for a mix of national brands and private label products on both store banners for sale in a convenient, easy way \"daily low price\"to-shop locations.
We believe that our customers were initially attracted to our stores by our compelling value proposition, a wide selection of home and business products, and shopping convenience.
We also believe that our customer service and unique brand name and private label products are the key factors to retain our customers.
Our smart and Finalstores target home and business customers who account for 70% and 30% of banner sales for the fiscal year 2018, respectively.
We believe that while sales to our business customers of smart & Finalbanner, including restaurant owners, catering suppliers, institutional consumers, offices and community organizations, are lower than sales to home customers, business customers provide 14 Content listings in our store\'s portfolio.
The resulting portfolio creates an environment where both home and business customers have the opportunity to purchase eskus from unique merchandise sales products to meet the greater needs of customers.
Our smart catering service is mainly for commercial customers, including restaurants, catering service providers and various other catering service providers.
We believe that business customers account for 90% of our banner sales in the fiscal year 2018, and for many of them we are the main source of supply.
While our smart catering service is not the main customer target, it also provides services to home customers, which are estimated to account for 10% of our total sales for the fiscal year 2018.
We believe that customers of our smart food services company enjoy our \"daily low price\", our extensive SKU selection, our price transparency, and purchase more quantities at \"case discount\" prices

The food retail and food service industries are large in scale, highly competitive and highly fragmented.
The competition in our industry is very fierce, and if we can\'t compete successfully, it may adversely affect our sales, financial situation and operating results.
\"Our main competitors include traditional grocery stores such as Albertsen/sifway and Kroger, warehouse clubs such as Costco and Aldi, food service delivery companies such as mass sysco and American food such as Walmat and Target, online retailers such as Amazon and other stores.
Each of these companies competes with us in terms of price, product selection, product quality, convenience, customer service, store form and location or any combination of these factors.
Some of our competitors may have more financial or marketing resources than we do, and may be able to use more resources for sourcing, promoting and selling their products.
These competitors can take advantage of these advantages to take certain measures, including price reduction, which may adversely affect our competitive position, business, financial position and operational results.
Seasonal sales in our business reflect moderate seasonality.
Our average weekly sales fluctuated throughout the year, usually the highest in the second and third fiscal quarters and the lowest in the first fiscal quarter.

\"Information technology systems we have invested heavily in information technology infrastructure, including procurement, reception, inventory, point of sale, digital commerce, warehousing, distribution, accounting, reporting and financial systems.
We will also continue to invest in supply chain systems to increase operational efficiency and scalability and support the flexibility of our growth and sales channels.
All of our stores operate under an integrated information technology platform and we plan to continue to invest in information technology to further strengthen our technology infrastructure.

Certain factors may have a significant adverse effect on our business, financial position, operating results or prospects.
You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below, as well as all other information in this year\'s report, including our consolidated financial statements and related notes.
Any of the following risks may adversely affect our business, financial position, operating results or prospects and lead to a decline in the value of our common stock, which may result in you losing all or part of your investment.
The competition in our industry is very fierce, and if we can\'t compete successfully, it may adversely affect our sales, financial situation and operating results.
We do business in the highly competitive food retail and food service industries.
We compete on a combination of factors such as price, product selection, product quality, convenience, customer service, store format and location, and digital business options.
In our industry, prices are an important driver of consumer choice.
We want our competitors to continue to put pricing pressure, which may adversely affect our ability to maintain margins and sales levels.
We determine our consumer prices based on a number of factors, including a survey of certain competitor prices.
If our competitors change their cost structure and make it impossible for us to compete effectively on a price basis, our financial position and operating results may be adversely affected.
Consumer choice is also driven by product selection and quality, and our success depends to a certain extent on our ability to identify market trends and deliver products that meet customer preferences.
No such trend was found, providing such products or accurately predicting changing customer preferences could lead to a decrease in the number of customer transactions in our store and a decrease in the amount of consumption when customers visit our store.
We are trying to create a convenient and engaging shopping experience for our customers in terms of customer service, store format and location, and digital business options.
If we are not able to provide a convenient and engaging shopping experience, our sales, profit margins and market share may decline, thus adversely affecting our financial position and operating results.
Some of our competitors are actively expanding their number of stores close to our stores in our major market areas, as well as their digital commerce products.
As our competitors increase or expand their physical and digital products, our financial position and operating results may be adversely affected by loss of sales, a decline in market share or an increase in operating costs.
Our main competitors include traditional grocery stores such as Albertsen and Kroger, discount stores and warehouse clubs such as Costco, mass retailers such as Wal-Mart and Target, food such as Sysco, American food and Performance Food Group, Amazon, etc. online retailers and other specialty stores.
Some of our competitors may have more financial or marketing resources than we do, and may be able to use more resources for sourcing, promoting and selling their products.
In addition, some of our competitors do not have Labor organized by the Union, which may reduce labor and welfare costs.
These competitors can take advantage of these advantages to take 17 measures, including price reduction, which may adversely affect our competitive position, business, financial position and operational results.
In addition, significant changes have taken place in retail supermarkets and food services over the past few decades.
Companies such as Wal-Mart, Costco and Aldi have developed a lower cost structure than traditional grocery stores to provide customers with a \"daily low price\" service.
In addition, wholesale stores such as restaurant warehouses provide additional low-cost services
Cooperate in the market they serve.
If our competitors adopt the \"daily low price\" strategy more, we may be forced to lower the price, which will require us to achieve additional cost savings to offset these cuts.
We may not be able to change our cost structure and pricing practices quickly enough to compete successfully in this environment.
Similarly, the retail supermarket industry is experiencing the evolution of digital commerce and delivery options, with several of our competitors adding or expanding online shopping options for their customers.
We may need to invest heavily on digital commerce platforms and execute on them to maintain our competitive position and respond to consumer demand trends.
Our growth depends to a certain extent on the opening of new stores, and our failure to successfully open new stores or successfully manage potential difficulties associated with store growth may adversely affect our business and share prices
Our growth depends to a certain extent on our ability to open new stores and successfully run new ones.
The successful implementation of our growth strategy depends on many factors, many of which are beyond our control, including our ability to effectively find the right place for new stores, negotiate and execute on acceptable terms to ensure and manage the inventory required for the start-up and operation of our new store, hire, train and retain skilled store personnel, promote and market new stores, address competitors, distribution and other challenges in expanding new geographic areas and markets.
Delays or failures in opening new stores or achieving lower than expected sales in new stores may adversely affect our growth.
Even though we believe in the US governmentS.
The market can support additionalSmart and the last special!
We cannot assure you when or if any new stores will be opened.
We may not have the level of cash flow or financing we need to achieve additional growth.
In the event of such a store opening, we cannot assure you that these new stores will be successful or will result in greater sales and profitability.
In addition, our growth will put more demands on our operational, management and administrative resources.
These increased demands may result in us not being able to operate our existing business effectively, which in turn may adversely affect the financial position and results of our existing stores.
In addition, opening new stores in the market of our existing stores may lead to a decrease in sales of these existing stores.
We may also not be able to successfully manage the potential difficulties associated with store growth, including access to scale efficiency, improvement of our systems, ongoing cost discipline, and maintaining the appropriate level of store labor, as well as disciplined product and real estate options, this can lead to stagnation or decline in our operating profits.
If, due to these difficulties, our financial position and results of operations are so declining, we may slow down or stop opening stores, or we may close stores that are not profitable.
Some of our new stores may be located in areas where we are inexperienced or lack brand recognition.
These markets may have different competitive conditions, market conditions, consumer tastes and discretionary consumption patterns compared to our existing markets, which may lead to these new stores being inferior to our existing markets
If we fail to successfully implement our 18 content growth strategies, including the opening of new stores, our financial position and operational results may be adversely affected.
