    I bought something from the Armoury the other day. But you're right most people I know don't shop there at lunch.

    360 is a luxury supermarket that caters mostly to the Central crowd (ie Bankers, Lawyers and the likes).

    So it is just luxury that replaces luxury...

    Fidji water for 30 HKD anyone?

    Pacific Place used to have a food court but that is also now gone. 360 is a glorified food court that is extremely popular. Mat, the Bankers and lawyers are busy having sit down lunches at the Mandarin. Only us poor schmucks are at the take out area.

    360 is owned by Dairy Farm Group which is part of Jardine Mattheson which owns Hong Kong Land which owns the Landmark.
    So .. they are hardly getting kicked out.

    Its all about profit and if you want a clone then there is a Market Place down the road -- which is owned by Dairy Farm as well. OR -- you can shop at Wellcome and save money. Owned by them as well FYI.

    HONK KONG - commercial incest at it's best.

    Hope they close the one in Elements as well, ridiculously expensive! Replace it with a nice Taste or Wellcome supermarket or something in that price range.

    Unlikely, Taste belongs to the "other lot".

    I met up with a Chinese mate the other day. I asked him to meet me at 360. He'd never even heard of it.

    Not local.
