Shanghai Tang next to leave Pedder Building
The China Tee Club has gone from Central's historic Pedder Building, and next in line will be Shanghai Tang. The chic Chinese clothing chain has been forced to close its 17-year-old flagship store, making way for Abercrombie & Fitch, the American casual-wear chain, which will take over four floors of the building.
