In a bid to tap into the local consumer market and the booming mainland tourist trade, Japanese discount chain store Don Don Donki opens its first Hong Kong location in Tsim Sha Tsui this July. Here’s everything you need to know.
The famous one-stop-shop megastore Don Don Donki, also known in Japan as Don Quijote, sells a plethora of consumer goods, from basic groceries, electronics, makeup, and clothing to suitcases, and more. Many Don Don Donki locations in Japan are open 24 hours for those who fancy a late-night snack or a last-minute shopping spree, and the Hong Kong branch is no different—expect to indulge in some late-night splurges.
Don Don Donki takes over the 15,000 square-foot space left behind by fashion retailer Collect Point in Mira Place II. Aside from the large shopping section, the Hong Kong branch also features a Sweet Potato Factory for mid-shopping snacks to lure in locals and tourists. Well, we don’t know about you, but we can’t wait to get splurging.

Born and raised in Hong Kong to expat parents, Sarah grew up as your typical third-culture kid, caught between two worlds. As someone who is nosy (or just curious) and loves the written word, there was never any other career that appealed to her as much as journalism. When she’s not busy on her mission to find the line between not enough coffee and too much coffee, you can find her exploring the city or getting stuck in a good book.
