The move comes amid growing international demand for Fortnum's products, with the opening intended to complement existing retail partnerships across Asia.
"Building on our 47 years of experience in Japan, South Korea and Hong Kong, our latest expansion in Asia is an important next step for us as we extend our reach further across the world," Kate Hobhouse, chairman of Fortnum & Mason, said in a press release Wednesday."We have seen significant appetite for the Fortnum's brand and products in the region, with impressive year-on-year sales growth.
The Hong Kong store will be a 7,000 square-foot space selling Fortnum's most popular products including tea, champagne and tea ware. A Fortnum's restaurant will be located upstairs above the retail space with views across the harbor.
