A Chinese lifestyle chain has claimed the top position in the National Retail Federation’s ranking of the fastest-growing retailers in the United States. Its rise places it ahead of two major American names: Dick’s Sporting Goods and Costco.

The ranking highlights the pace of expansion rather than overall sales volume. Costco’s substantial sales were not enough to secure a place among the leading fastest-growing retailers, underscoring the difference between scale and growth rate.

The result reflects the increasing presence of Chinese lifestyle brands in the U.S. retail market. While established chains continue to generate significant revenue, newer or rapidly expanding businesses are drawing attention for how quickly they are growing across the country.
