Convenience stores are everywhere in Hong Kong. Two brands mainly – 7-Eleven and Circle K. Both have good magazine ranges with an average shop carrying between 105 and 200 titles.
While there are book / magazine stores – Dymocks and Bookazine – it is the convenience stores which appear to have most of the everyday magazine and newspaper traffic as they are on the street level and far more easily accessed.
I got to visit plenty Circle K and 7-Eleven stores. The more I visited the more I wondered what would have to magazine sales in newsagencies if 7-Eleven in Australia listen their game in terms of magazines with range tweaking, better positioning and decent personal customer service.
