Hongkongers flock to say goodbye as landmark Sha Shui Po department store closes

Loyal customers and bargain hunters crowded a landmark department store in Hong Kong on Sunday as it closed its doors after three decades of operations.

The closure of Sincere Department Store’s Sham Shui Po branch, a neighbourhood fixture for 30 years, leaves the chain with only two remaining outlets.

Founded in 1900, Sincere was the first Chinese-owned department store in Hong Kong and remains one of the city’s oldest retail groups.

Its branches in Mong Kok and Central continued to operate.

On Sunday, a Post reporter saw shoppers packing the store’s three floors at the Dragon Centre eager to seize a final opportunity to grab last-minute bargains.

Farewell notes adorned the store’s entrance and interior, drawing shoppers who stopped to take photos with them during their last visit.
