Sisyphe
Sisyphe, founded in 1993, is a pioneer and a representative brand of privately run bookstores in China. It is also a nationwide experiential boutique bookstore chain. For years, it has developed its chain of bookstores based on the management concept of “guiding and promoting fine reading for the masses” in accordance with the values of “participating in the creation of local spiritual life”. As of April 2019, it has grown into a cultural enterprise with more than 200 retail bookstores and over 4 million active members.
Currently, its sub-brands include Sisyphe Park Books, UP Coffee, Booart Life, 7&12 Reading Call and Twinstone. Sisyphus has studied books and readings intently, and has conceived its stores based on three major product lines, namely, the standard line (black/green/red), the thematic line and the customized line, and has positioned them separately according to different urban business entities so as to create a richly tiered reading experience for readers. It has also set up specialized book product lines and big data systems to allow readers to select good books easily, and has built an interactive platform to share urban cultural spaces with readers.
