“The meal has not been delivered, so I want to cancel the order and go directly to the store to eat, but in the past, the store didn’t open.” Mr. Chen said that at noon yesterday, he ordered the meal of “auspicious Rice” (Software Park) through Meituan take-out platform. He ordered “Cancel order” but the merchant never accepted it. Finally, the meal was delivered to the door. The store is not open.

Merchant: The store is temporarily closed and other branches can be delivered
Later, the reporter came to the store reflected by Mr. Chen, which is located in Fuzhou Software Avenue. The reporter saw at the scene that the store pulled the gate and posted a transfer notice on it. A nearby Merchant told the reporter that the store had been out of business for a long time, and the specific reason was not clear. The reporter found that “auspicious Rice” has branches near Fuyu Road, Tonghu Road and Emgrand International in Fuzhou.
“It’s just that I haven’t opened it these days, and I’m ready to serve new dishes.” Yesterday, the reporter contacted the relevant personnel of the store. He said: “The store in the software park is really not open, but other branches can deliver meals, which is normal.”
Where did the food come from? The reporter contacted the food deliveryman. The food deliveryman said: “I don’t know the specific situation. I can also take the food at Yangqiao Road branch.” When the reporter asked how to send it so far away, the food deliveryman hung up the phone.
Meituan: I was not informed of the closure of merchant stores in time.
