Rewind a decade, H&M and Zara were icons in Central, but a few years later H&M had to survive elsewhere with Topshop just arriving to the hood. Sadly Topshop will be closing soon.
Soon after that HMV went bust and the scene in Central changed dramatically.
We saw the rise and fall of Dragon noodles as well as Flamingo Bloom.
Now in 2020, Central finally has a U Select at The L Place while there is Donki at 100QRC.
It feels like Donki has truly brought the local crowd over because they just adore their Japanese goods.
For me, I am glad that U Select has been recognized in city areas like Central and Wanchai because it offers products from Tescos at reasonable prices.
It is interesting how English goods are always costing three times the price when the exchange rate is almost 1GBP to 10HKD since Brexit.
