The Page One bookstore in Hong Kong has a massively revamped store that has a special focus on giving shoppers a more experiential book browsing and shopping experience. While rent in Hong Kong has risen to stratospheric levels, that hasn't stopped Page One from expanding its space.
The revamped store is located in Harbour City, Hong Kong's busiest shopping mall. It occupies a space of 35,000 square feet and includes a bakery, a restaurant, an outdoor garden, a stationery and gifts section and a whole new addition of lifestyle and interior retail offerings.
The expanding and revamping of the Page One bookstore is part of a growing movement in Hong Kong to create engaging experiential space rather than simply stocking store shelves with merchandise. It looks like the retail movement in Hong Kong is turning a page, and Page One is among those leading the way.
