The Legend of the Supermarket

2023-08-22
Tung Tai Provisions has witnessed the century-long development of Hong Kong since its establishment as a free port. The first-generation founder went from being a street vendor to opening a corner store, which would eventually become a supermarket. The business has faced countless challenges posed by changing times, including a price war between two major supermarket chains which resulted in the closure of some of its branches. Tung Tai Provisions then turned to the wholesale of canned foods, rice, noodles, and wine, among other products, so as to sustain the operation of its supermarket. Only the main branch in Sai Ying Pun remains today – it continues to sell various age-old products in order to preserve local nostalgia. Although business declined during the epidemic, not only did the owner not dismiss any employees, but he even distributed supplies to neighbourhood residents in need on a frequent basis. The brand is equally rich in history and humanity.
