History
Early Growth and Expansion (1991–2000)
Established in 1988, the company was established on Dihua Street in Taipei.[1] In the following year, nine stores were opened simultaneously and its distribution centre was established on Xinhai Road in Banqiao District, New Taipei. Hi-Life introduced the Electronic Order System (EOS) in 1991 to improve inventory management and launched invoice redemption and recycling programs. It expanded rapidly, reaching 100 stores in 1994, 200 in 1995, and 300 in 1996. To support growth, it established multiple regional offices and distribution centers, including the Wugu Distribution Centre located in Wugu District in 1994 and Southern Distribution Centre in 1996. In 1997, Hi-Life moved its headquarters to Bade Road in Taipei and received Good Store Practices (GSP) certification.[2]
