More than 100 customers show up at Hong Kong’s Happy Cake Shop to bid farewell to popular bakery ahead of closure

More than 100 customers queued up at Happy Cake Shop in Wan Chai late last week, after the popular 45-year-old bakery announced it would close for good from Monday (Aug 1) onwards.

A notice posted online on Wednesday said the shop on Queen’s Road East would serve its last customer on August 2 because it had failed to renew its rental agreement with the building’s owner. Customers are urged to visit a remaining branch in Ma On Shan.
