    9N9 Logo Plastic Bags - Why are they so common in HK?

    Why do such a significant amount of wet market vendors and other independent local shops use plastic shopping bags with the logo for 9N9 stores? I get these bags frequently whenever I shop there.

    Based on the logo, this is apparently a discount shop in the UK. I don't recall seeing these stores on visits to the UK, but is this place common there (e.g. like a Dollar General in the US)? And regardless, why have so many of their bags made it to Hong Kong???

    Never heard of or seen in the UK, but I haven't been there for 6 years

    Probably surplus dumped by the bag manufacturer ...
