The business environment in the first quarter of 2021 was still affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. A small-scale outbreak in northern China in late 2020 continued into the first quarter of 2021, however, the impact was relatively mild compared to early 2020 when the Group had to suspend a number of stores in response to the pandemic. The Group's sales and same-store sales in the first quarter of this year recorded growth compared to the same period last year due to the Group's active investment in the delivery business and the launch of ''Family Kitchen'' products, which allowed customers to purchase and enjoy the Group's products under different circumstances despite the pandemic. Due to the natural expiry of store leases and the need for location adjustments, the number of stores of the Group recorded a net decrease of 4 to 576 during the quarter under review.
