What prices?

I only use 7-Eleven to top up octopus card and pay utilities. I wonder what they're getting from that.

A while back (and may be even now?) Circle K was franchised in HK by Li&Fung (which is why you don't or did not see a single 7-11 around their head office in Cheung Sha Wan.

7-11 should be Dairy Farm / Jardine.
