香港傳統「上樓舖」因租金下跌和需求疲弱，正轉向地面店舖。香港炳記老參燕窩（HK JEBN）下週將在尖沙咀開設另一間地面店舖，此舉反映零售市場調整。
香港炳記老參燕窩（HK JEBN），本地稱「老上樓」，過去二十年靠避開昂貴街舖租金、在高層營運起家，如今卻反其道而行。公司營銷總監兼合夥人莊華利表示：「疫情後，零售市場疲弱，遊客人數減少，本地消費者更謹慎，我們必須作出改變。」下週，這家售賣燕窩、蟲草等中藥保健品的零售商，將在尖沙咀海皇中心格兰维道路開設約3000平方呎的地面店舖，月租約20萬港元（2.55萬美元），據市場消息人士透露。同一舖位2013年東亞銀行曾支付約38.87萬港元租金，後歸還業主現為華僑永亨銀行（OCBC Wing Hang Bank），凸顯租金從高峰急挫。過去，「上樓舖」是香港零售特色，商家放棄街面曝光以降低成本、提供低價，依賴忠實客戶而非路人流量。如今租金調整，商家擴地面店並試行快閃格式。
