Modern Friendship Stores
The Beijing store has a Starbucks, Baskin-Robbins, Délifrance, Pizza Hut, and a bookshop which stocks a wide range of English-language magazines and newspapers. It has been announced that the site is to be redeveloped, with the Friendship Store being replaced by a more modern shopping center, offices and a Conrad Hotel.
There are also two Friendship Stores in Shanghai, one in the city center and one in Hongqiao.
The Friendship Store in Guangzhou has still grown. There are now four Friendship Stores in Guangzhou, the original one in the old business centre opposite the Garden Hotel and three branch stores in the newly developed Tianhe District.

To sound unlike a birthday card,
That’s all this is: so you may find it
Full of all that lies behind it
Admiration; friendship too;
And hope that in the future you
Reap ever richer revenue.”
