“The growth in total revenue was mainly derived by the increase in comparable store sales, sales of new stores opened in 2007, and year-on-year growth in services income from suppliers and rental income,” Wumart said.


Comparable store sales increased 14.1% in the quarter and the total number of stores the group operates rose to 407 during the period.
