During the Period under Review, the Group continued to adopt its store optimization strategy by continuously improving the product display, store appearance and procurement arrangements, to provide customers with a better shopping environment and experience, and to showcase the Company’s further diversified product portfolio and good brand image.
In 2021, the Group launched a new global wine and food shop “FoodVille”, targeting mid-to-high end and global quality food products. These include fine wines, premium chocolates, health foods, cheese, Western sauces and ingredients from various countries and regions, catering to the market’s pursuit of a high-quality living and expanding the Group’s customer base.

During the Period under Review, the Group sold over 1,050 brands and more than 2,870 stock keeping units (“SKUs”) of products in total, offering customers a diversified range of choices. The Group continued to optimise its product portfolio, phasing out older items for new products and flavours, staying abreast of changes in customer demands.

EMPLOYEES
As at 30 June 2025, the number of full-time and part-time employees of the Group was 1,187 (31 December 2024: 1,230).

OUTLOOK
Amid escalating global geopolitical conditions, economic prospects remain fraught with uncertainties. Coupled with the changes in consumer spending patterns in recent years, the growing popularity of cross-border consumption has further hindered the recovery of the retail industry in Hong Kong. The Group anticipates that the retail business environment will remain challenging this year. The Group will remain prudent in conducting business, actively explore new products and new markets, and explore opportunities for diversified development. Simultaneously, the Group will continue to enhance internal operational efficiency, promote and refine management practices, optimise business processes, and control costs. The Group will closely monitor factors affecting its operations, flexibly adjust and implement relevant strategies flexibly timely to deliver the best returns for shareholders and investors.
Looking ahead, the Group will seize market opportunity to expand its store network of its major retail brands, namely the “Best Mart 360º (優品360º)” and “FoodVille”. By leveraging the “dual brand” model, the Group aims to meet the needs of different customer segments for quality food. The Group will review the operation of existing retail outlets regularly to adjust its operational strategy as needed. In addition, in June this year, the Group officially joined the foodpanda mall platform, enabling customers to purchase products online conveniently, expanding sales channels and boosting revenue.
The Group remains committed to its business mission of “Best Quality” and “Best Price”. It will actively seek upstream suppliers to enrich its product portfolio while maintaining a competitive edge in pricing. On the other hand, the Group will continue to actively explore different categories of food products globally to enhance the development of its own brand products to meet the market demand for daily necessities and provide customers with a more diversified range of choices.Hashtag: #BestMart360 #優品360

Public Invited to Tour New Phnom Penh Temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
The First Presidency of the Church has announced that open house tours will run from Saturday, 15 August 2026, to Saturday, 22 August 2026, except on Sunday. The open house provides all people of all faiths the opportunity to tour the temple’s beautiful interior and grounds and learn about the purpose of this sacred structure.
Open house tours will be conducted:
- Saturdays, 15 & 22 August: 9:00 a.m.–7:00 p.m.
- Monday–Friday, 17–21 August: 4:00 p.m.–8:00 p.m.
- Sunday, 16 August: No tours available.
The temple is located on Russian Federation Boulevard Phnom Penh 12040, on a 1.3-hectare site. Tours are free, and no reservations are needed. More information is available at https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/featured/phnom-penh-cambodia-open-house?lang=eng
Elder Eng Bunhuoch, an Area Seventy and senior leader of the Church in Cambodia, said, “The Phnom Penh Cambodia Temple is a testament to the enduring faith of our Cambodian members and will serve as a focal point of spiritual growth for many years to come. It is more than a building; it is a sacred space that symbolizes our commitment to the teachings of Jesus Christ and the eternal nature of families.
“We invite all to come, learn, and walk with us in our holy temple. You can experience our impression of heaven on earth and the special feelings that exist in the House of the Lord. In this temple, you will feel peace, receive inspiration, feel His love, and draw closer to Him. Our members open their arms to you and invite everyone to share the joy we feel in the temple.”
Following the public open house, the temple will be formally dedicated on Sunday, 30 August 2026. The open house presents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for all members of the public to enter and tour the temple prior to its dedication. After the dedication, the temple grounds will remain open to visitors; however, entry into the temple itself will be reserved for faithful members of the Church.
There are nearly 18,000 members of the Church in Cambodia. The temple will serve Church members in Cambodia and parts of Vietnam.
The architecture of the temple is inspired by traditional Khmer design elements and cultural heritage, with a central spire surrounded by four smaller spires.
The temple was announced by Church President Russell M. Nelson on 7 October 2018. Groundbreaking was held 18 September 2021, with the dedicatory prayer offered by Cambodia Phnom Penh Mission President Veasna Kuonno Neang.
Temples of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints differ from meetinghouses or chapels, where members gather for Sunday worship services. Each temple is considered a House of the Lord, where Jesus Christ’s teachings are reaffirmed through sacred ceremonies that unite families eternally.
In the temple, Church members learn more about the purpose of life. They learn where we came from before birth, why we are on this earth, and what will happen after we die. In the temple, members make promises to follow Jesus Christ and to serve others.

High Gold Prices Drive Demand for Jewelry Appraisals as Jewel Cafe Opens Tsuen Wan Store
Newly opened Tsuen Wan OP Mall store offers free appraisals of gold, jewelry, luxury watches, and branded goods with no obligation to sell
HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 4 August 2026 – Following a record-breaking year for gold prices in 2025, more people are seeking to understand the value of jewelry, precious metals, luxury watches, and branded goods. Against this backdrop, Japanese-founded specialty buying brand Jewel Cafe has opened its Tsuen Wan OP Mall store, expanding its presence in Hong Kong.
According to the World Gold Council, the LBMA afternoon gold price set 53 new all-time highs during 2025. The annual average gold price reached a record USD 3,431 per ounce, up 44% from the previous year.
In Hong Kong, gold jewelry has traditionally been associated with weddings, Lunar New Year celebrations, and family occasions. Many households own jewelry that is no longer worn. As interest in understanding the value of these items grows, more consumers are seeking appraisal services before deciding whether to keep or sell them.
At Jewel Cafe, customers are welcomed with Japanese-style hospitality. Friendly and experienced staff clearly explain each appraisal, helping customers make informed decisions at their own pace. Every consultation is free of charge, with no obligation to sell.
The Tsuen Wan store joins Jewel Cafe’s existing locations in Mong Kok and North Point, making it the brand’s third store in Hong Kong. Combining Japanese appraisal expertise with customer-first hospitality, Jewel Cafe provides a trusted buying experience across Hong Kong.
