Don Don Donki is going to launch a new physical store in Whampoa Garden on 17 August 2022. The Japanese supermarket chain said in a Facebook post that the store will open at 10am, featuring a vintage theme of Japan from the 1920s to 1980s with decorations resonating a traditional Japanese shopping street.

It will also be the brand's first outlet in Hong Kong to feature teppanyaki Wagyu beef skewers, and a specialty store where customers can grab tailor-made dishes for takeaway bentos. The Whampoa Garden outlet will include a Sen Sen Sushi, Donki’s sushi restaurant brand, and a Yasuda Seimai, its onigiri specialty store.

According to DON DON DONKI Hong Kong's website, it is operating nine Don Don Donki stores in Hong Kong. Moving forward, its parent company Pan Pacific International Holdings will continue to "pioneer new distribution strategies to drive its international competitiveness, while rapidly pushing forward its store development pathway in Hong Kong."

It added that part of its mission is to continue to actively explore the introduction of even more Japanese agricultural, livestock, marine, and hard goods and products, adding to a wide range of unique and highly original items available within its stores in Hong Kong.

Previously in May, Don Don Donki Hong Kong was said to have asked its staff to accept new contract offers, reducing some of its employees' salaries. Staffers who refused to sign the new contract will be terminated, according to a statement issued by the Hong Kong Department Stores and Commercial Staff General Union.

The union uploaded a statement on its Facebook, saying that Don Don Donki Hong Kong had required its employees to sign a new contract. Some employees will have a reduced salary after signing the contract. The union also said it was disappointed and regretted that the company had decided to require its staff to take a pay cut although it made money last year.
