Wing Yip (Traditional: 榮業行; Simplified: 荣业行; Pinyin: Róngyè Háng) is a Chinese supermarket chain in the United Kingdom. Wing Yip established the first store -- now also serving as its head office, warehouse, and national distribution centre -- in the city of Birmingham in 1969. Since then the company has opened superstore branches in Manchester and Greater London (namely, Croydon and Cricklewood). In 2004, Wing Yip launched their online store.[2] In July 2005, the company began a major expansion at the Cricklewood location with completion expected in March 2007.[3]
The company has also expanded into wholesale and export (international trade), and real estate development/management.
