U Select is a chain of supermarkets in Hong Kong operated by China Resources Vanguard, originally in partnership with Tesco. At least one third of the products sold in the store came from overseas supermarket chains. As part of Tesco's decision to cease international product sales due to Brexit, U Select instead started stocking Coles products from December 2021, and also begun stocking Morrisons products from May 2022.
History
On 18 August 2013, China Resources Enterprise's supermarket chain Vanguard and British supermarket Tesco signed a "memorandum of understanding", intending to set up a joint venture interest group in mainland China, Hong Kong and Macau, operating hypermarkets, supermarkets, convenience stores, liquor stores and cash and carry businesses. China Resources and Tesco are holding an 80% and a 20% share respectively.[1]
In April 2015, China Resources opened the first U Select supermarkets, with the first two stores opening on 18 April 2015 in Prince Edward Road West and Bellagio Mall.[2]
