Marks & Spencer
A little reminder of home for Brits around the world, Marks & Spencer has eight stores in Hong Kong in which you will find the brand’s clothing, footwear, toiletries and foodstuffs. This is a popular place to pick up the basics such as underwear and nightwear in western-friendly sizes, and the lingerie section is popular. Unlike M&S stores in some other countries, the food on offer is limited to pre-packed items, such as biscuits, preserves and snacks, so anyone hoping to buy their tasty oven-ready meals will be disappointed. M&S really comes into its own at Christmas time, however, with Christmas puddings, mince pies and brandy butter just some of the hard-to-find products on offer to enhance your festive feast. One big selling point is the fact that Marks & Spencer has far and away the most generous returns policy in Hong Kong. Goods in a saleable condition and with a receipt can be returned for an exchange or refund within a whopping 90 days of purchase; without a receipt, they will still give you an exchange or gift vouchers. For other branches, see the directory on p.343.
