Sincere Department Store to close down their century-old Central location in December
This historic brand is looking for a new home in the same neighbourhood
Sincere Department Store, one of Hong Kong's oldest department chains, will close its Central location at the end of 2026 after failing to renew its lease with the landlord. Founded in 1900, the century-old brand pioneered fixed pricing, sales receipts, and the employment of female sales clerks. The Central store, which has been a historic landmark in the city, will be replaced by a new location in the Central and Sheung Wan area, although a suitable venue has yet to be found. Sincere intends to continue operating through its online store and the King Wah Centre in Mong Kok.
