After a two-month enhancement project, Tin Shui Market in Tin Shui Wai reopened in early July of 2014, having completed its transformation into a modern fresh market that meets the needs of nearby residents and preserves and sustains Hong Kong’s unique fresh market culture. After the transformation, Tin Shui Market prevailed among markets from around the world to win the Gold Award at the 2014 World Union of Wholesale Markets (WUWM) Market Awards, an international competition organised by WUWM. This is first time a Hong Kong market has won the highest honour in this prestigious award.
The renovation project of Tin Shui Market has adopted ideas from fresh markets around the world, including opening up and uncluttering the stall layout, upgrading the market’s hardware and introducing a range of modern, innovative services that redefine the perception of fresh markets. These services include:
(1) Market DJ: Uses an interactive way to help tenants promote their goods and provide residents with information about the latest discounts.
(2) Electronic membership system: A new reward card scheme that provides a convenient shopping experience for nearby residents. To encourage customers to shop in the market, they can also earn bonus points to redeem gifts.
(3) Helping tenants improve their marketing and promotion skills: Management staff will share publicity and promotion skills with tenants in person to hone their business skills and develop market awareness.
(4) Introduction of Octopus Facilities: Bringing convenience to shoppers while enhancing the operation efficiency of tenants.
(5) Price monitoring committee: The committee ensures food prices in the market are competitive within the community, attracting residents to shop in the market.
The cache is hidden on the roof of the market. Please be stealth.
