Popular media outlet Zao Ka Life reported on June 24, 2024, that the well-known chain group buying supermarket 'Honorable Green' in southern Taiwan, which many are familiar with as an affordable fresh fruit paradise, has recently been in turmoil. Multiple branches suddenly ceased operations, and franchisees accused the responsible party of malicious closure and outstanding debts, leaving many netizens puzzled. The chain had a significant presence in the southern region, with 7 stores in Kaohsiung and 2 in Pingtung, attracting numerous members through LINE group recruitment for their affordable fresh fruits. However, recently, sharp-eyed netizens noticed several branches unexpectedly closed, posting closure notices in social media chat rooms, catching everyone off guard. Questions arose about the owner running away due to huge debts, with speculation fueled by major discounts announced in early June. Franchisees soon issued statements alleging malicious fraud and closure by the headquarters, accumulating a large amount of outstanding payments and goods, and expressing intentions to take legal action to dissolve cooperation. Facing accusations from franchisees and the sudden closure of stores, 'Honorable Green's' responsible party has yet to provide an explanation. This closing saga of 'Honorable Green' is truly thought-provoking, evolving from a once affordable fresh fruit paradise to branches shutting down, franchisees exposing secrets, and ending in a clearance frenzy. This incident allows us to pay more attention to the management of chain supermarkets and hopes everyone remains rational amidst this turmoil to prevent losses.
