Pearl River Mart is an Asian-American retail brand and family-run business in New York City.[1][2] The business was founded in 1971 in Chinatown, Manhattan, as Chinese Native Products by Ming Yi Chen and a group of student activists from China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. Chen has said that he and his colleagues "wanted to create a small window into the Chinese culture".[3] Its products include braided straw slippers, paper lanterns, cheongsams, cotton Mary Janes, and copies of Mao's Little Red Book.[4][5][6] Pearl River Mart has become a New York City institution.[5] The business has an art gallery in its main location, and hosts in-store events and performances.[7][8]
