Japanese chain Don Don Donki to open three more Hong Kong stores, defying coronavirus slowdown across retail industry
- Multi-storey superstores selling all things Japan to open in Central, Tseung Kwan O, and Siu Sai Wan
- Plan will see the number of the stores in Hong Kong doubling by early next year
Pan Pacific Retail Management in Hong Kong on Tuesday announced its plan to launch three new branches of the superstore in the city, the first of which will open at 100 Queen’s Road Central on October 15.
The O'South Coast store at Tseung Kwan O would make its debut in November, followed by the Island Resort outlet in Siu Sai Wan in February next year.
Especially popular with younger shoppers, the stores provide an all-out Japanese experience, selling products including fresh produce, packaged snacks, pet food, and daily necessities, to the backdrop of blaring pop music.
Takeuchi Mitsuyoshi, president of the retail management company which owns the chains, expressed confidence that the move would strengthen the brand’s retail network and improve accessibility for customers.
That would bring “yet more diverse and exclusive products to the city that is known for its fondness of Japanese brands”, he said in a statement.
