To put it simply, if the vegetable market mainly revolves around "oil, salt, sauce and vinegar tea", then the neighborhood center will add the distribution of "clothing, food, housing and leisure" to provide residents with "one-stop" life services.

Today, let's specifically analyze what formats can be included in neighborhood centers upgraded from wet markets~

Market

Most of the neighborhood centers are transformed from the vegetable market, which contains three meals a day for the people, which is naturally an important part of the neighborhood center, which can solve the problem of difficulty in buying vegetables for surrounding residents~

Repair/tailor shop

It is said that young people will not repair things when they are broken, and they only know to buy new ones, but in fact, there are also a large number of people who want to repair things but can't find a place, or the place is too far away and feels that it is not worth sending a trip for repair. The various repair shops that exist in the neighborhood center can solve these problems well. For example, repairing shoes, mending clothes, repairing electrical appliances, etc., so that more items become "durable" and play a greater value.

It can also be extended to make clothing stores, grocery stores, etc., so that many sporadic but related needs can find solutions here.

Catering

In addition to the grocery shopping crowd, there are also some residents who will have dietary needs, such as office workers who do not have time to do breakfast, or occasionally people who are too lazy to open a group at home alone, and need a nearby restaurant to solve the problem of a meal. Therefore, neighborhood centers need to take some catering formats into account.
