About GreenPrice
Founded by Terence Hon, Allison Chan, Ben So and Cherissa Hung in Hong Kong in 2016, GreenPrice is a social enterprise specialized in retailing surplus and short-dated stock. Started in a university social innovation competition, the idea soon became a standalone store in December of 2016 in Kowloon Peninsula.
The vision of GreenPrice for our store was to create more than a place where people could discover ever-changing selection of quality merchandise at significant discount, we wanted to create a community hub where people could learn and discuss the way of living a sustainable life. It was also important for us to create real relationships with our guests and understand what they were passionate about, how they liked to dine and help them celebrate their goals.
The company’s core values of quality, product, integrity, entrepreneurship, thoughtfulness and fun are lived by our people every day and are at the heart of our unique company culture.
