Dennis Department Store, Liaohe Road (丹尼斯辽河路店)

Dennis Department Store, Liaohe Road (丹尼斯辽河路店) is the second Dennis store in Luohe, standing at the junction of Liaohe Road and Songshan Road in Yancheng District, in China's Henan Province. It opened on 19 September 2014. Dennis is a Henan-based chain that combines a department store with a supermarket, a format that makes it as much a place for daily household shopping as for fashion. Published hours are Monday to Thursday 09:00 to 21:00 and Friday to Sunday 09:00 to 21:30.

The goods sold span clothing, cosmetics, home goods and children's items on the department-store floors, plus groceries, fresh food, packaged goods and household supplies in the supermarket. For visitors, the supermarket is often the more useful part: it stocks regional Henan food products, snacks, tea and packaged goods that make easy, reasonably priced gifts, with fixed and labelled prices. Brands in the department section are a mix of domestic and mid-market labels operated at brand counters, so the risk of replica goods is low and there are no tourist trinkets.

Bargaining is not part of the culture here. Prices are fixed, with seasonal promotions, member pricing and supermarket special offers as the usual ways to save. Payment is by WeChat Pay, Alipay and UnionPay cards, with cash accepted at checkouts; international credit cards are not reliably accepted. Tax-refund schemes for tourists are not typically offered at this store, and visitors who want one should ask at the customer service desk.

The atmosphere is that of a busy local retailer, crowded in the evenings and on weekends, quieter on weekday mornings. Food options in Dennis stores generally include the supermarket's prepared-food and bakery counters and a few eateries, which is convenient for a quick meal or picnic supplies. Located in Yancheng District, away from the old-town cluster, it suits visitors staying near Liaohe Road who want groceries, toiletries or gifts without travelling far.
