PARKnSHOP and Bo Charity Foundation, the organizer of the food rescue and assistance programme Food Angel, jointly held a press conference to announce the expansion of their Surplus Food Donation Programme. PARKnSHOP took the initiative in July 2012 to become the first supermarket chain in Hong Kong to donate edible surplus food to Food Angel. The programme is now expanded to 55 stores, and the categories have been expanded from vegetables, fruit and bread in the beginning to poultry, meat and packaged food. These help Food Angel to prepare more nutritious free meals for people in need.
PARKnSHOP’s own brand range ‘SELECT’ has been well received since its launch in 2005 with its product range now expanded to more than 600 items. In a strategic business move for PARKnSHOP, SELECT is relaunched with a new image. French-designed packaging and a simple, appealing logo make SELECT easy to spot on the shelf and project the range’s young and trendy image. The smile in the logo represents customers’ satisfaction with every SELECT product they buy. To convey our mission to enable consumers to ‘enjoy a better life’, we are running a marketing campaign across TV and newspapers, backed by in-store promotions and food tastings, linking with the relaunch of SELECT.
