Tsz Wan Shan Shopping Centre Branch<br />
opened in January <strong>2007</strong><br />
“<br />
We believe in the new business approach and have therefore extended<br />
the branch network to <strong>The</strong> <strong>Link</strong>’s shopping centre for the first time.<br />
<strong>The</strong> result is surprisingly good, as the customer flow has exceeded<br />
our expectations and the spending potential of nearby residents is<br />
encouraging. Our bookstore has drawn a crowd of young readers from<br />
the surrounding schools as well. We hope that more opportunities can be<br />
explored in <strong>The</strong> <strong>Link</strong>’s properties to promote reading in the community.<br />
“<br />
With new shops and popular restaurants opening in the past year, it is<br />
obvious that residents in Tsz Wan Shan are more willing to stay in this<br />
Shopping Centre to shop, dine and do grocery shopping. Even patronage<br />
to the fresh market has been boosted, which has brought us increased<br />
revenue.<br />

“<br />
Shops like ours usually would accept cash only. Banking service in the<br />
shopping centre is therefore particularly crucial. <strong>The</strong> <strong>Link</strong> has introduced<br />
many automatic teller machines to the Po Tat Shopping Centre in the past<br />
year, bringing much greater convenience to residents nearby. Customers<br />
are now attracted to come more often and the overall environment has<br />
become much more dynamic.<br />
”<br />
“<br />
We took the opportunity to renovate our shop in parallel with the current<br />
enhancement of the Lung Cheung Mall. <strong>The</strong> shopfront has now been<br />
given a much trendier outlook and we have even renamed our shop to<br />
match with the new style, so as to attract more customers and upgrade<br />
hand in hand with the shopping centre. All our colleagues are very proud<br />
of our new look.<br />
