Hong Kong’s largest supermarket with a mega collection of fresh ingredients and an in-store Food Street, revolutionising the grocery shopping experience
To cater to Hong Kongers’ high standards for quality ingredients, Wellcome proudly launches its concept store, Wellcome Fresh. Committed to become a store of “Fresh Inspiration. Families’ Favourite”, Wellcome Fresh vows to bring customers an unparalleled grocery shopping experience. Wellcome Fresh is conveniently located in The Westwood with over 50,000 ft2 of store space. As Hong Kong’s largest supermarket, Wellcome Fresh carries grocery items and fresh ingredients sourced from around the world – meticulously sat in the store’s 23 feature zones alongside 15,000 premium-selected products. Whether you are looking for wild- caught seafood, fine wines, or locally farmed produce, Wellcome Fresh has got you covered!
14 Feature Zones to Make for a Culinary Paradise
Specialising in fresh products, Wellcome Fresh houses 14 feature zones. The three Fresh Ingredient Zones – the Fresh Produce Zone, the Butcher Shop, and the Seafood Zone – showcase seasonal items curated from around the world at unbeatable prices. The Bakery, Dried Fruits and Nuts, and Local Snacks Zones offer a range of locally made snack options – most of which are available on our online store, too. The store’s Food Street is home to eight cooked food zones, serving a vast array of grab-and-go meals for those who lead a hectic life.
As one of the store highlights, the Fresh Produce Zone carries a large collection of tropical fruits and vegetables sourced from Thailand and Southeast Asia, as well as from Japan, Korea, Australia, Europe, and the US. Signature items include Saveol tomatoes from France, avocados from New Zealand, sustainably farmed pea sprouts and Dolci navel oranges from Australia (Wellcome Fresh exclusive). Customers are guaranteed the freshest seasonal fruits and vegetables all year round. In addition, Wellcome Fresh introduces the Locally Grown Organic Produce Zone, as well as the Hydroponics Zone, to meet the diverse needs of customers. Most produce is not pre-packaged – customers are free to handpick items in quantities to their liking. With minimal packaging, customers are able to shop for greens, while being green.
Resident Chefs to Pair and Cook Seafood to Customers’ Liking
In the Seafood Zone, customers can select from over 100 types of wild-caught and sustainably farmed seafood. Wellcome Fresh’s experienced seafood merchandisers handpick the best quality seafood at the fish market every day, bringing the freshest seasonal items to our store. With
Wellcome Fresh’s seafood pairing and cooking services from our resident chefs, we promise customers a level of freshness that will stimulate your tastebuds! Wellcome Fresh has also imported over 80 types of chilled and frozen seafood, including wild-caught king crabs from Norway, premium scallops and live abalones from Japan, among many others – all of which are definitely unmissable by seafood lovers.
Organic no hormone- added Pork in the Old-School Butcher Shop
The Butcher Shop features a series of meats, including locally farmed black Iberian pork without added hormones, free range chicken from Qingyuan, and other popular local products typically found at traditional markets. What is more, customers will find a variety of organic, additive-free meat from different corners of the world, such as wagyu beef, pork, and poussin from Kagoshima (Japan); you can also find 120-day grain-fed Angus beef from Australia, as well as other superior meats – all at great prices.

Unique Store Décor to Re-imagine Traditional Market
Besides its exceptional products, Wellcome Fresh is characterised by its unique décor, integrating traces of local cultural elements into its store space. With accents of wood and an earthy tone throughout the store, each feature zone is represented by a specific colour with murals and adornments of the same motif. In the Butcher Shop, pieces of juicy pork are hung on iron hooks with a traditional red price tag, creating an authentic market ambiance. The Seafood Zone is most recognisable by its light blue and white tiles, complemented by a large mural featuring different seafoods. There are also fishing nets hung from the ceiling next to the seafood zone’s signature red lamps, nicely blending tradition with modernity. This one-of-a-kind décor of Wellcome Fresh transforms any regular grocery shopping experience into an extraordinary food expedition for customers.
