Ending …. Fenwick’s will close before the end of the year. The building was sold and the new landlord doesn’t like them. Not sure if it’s a case where he’s refusing to renew the lease or what, but they will be shutting down in the near future. No word on if they’re looking for a new location.

Ending …. Krispy Kreme doughnuts in Hong Kong is shutting down. The HK franchise was owned and operated by the same group that runs Pepperoni’s, Jaspa’s, Cru, Wagyu, etc. They’ll probably continue through the end of this week and then that’s it. But as many who frequent their shops have noted, every time I went in, they were never busy. I think it just never took off in HK.

Beginning …. after 11 years in HK (1995-1999, 2001-present), today I received my Hong Kong Permanent Resident ID Card. Once word hit the streets, the Hang Seng Index dropped 12.7 percent.
