Mr. Lo Kwok Kwun, also known as “Uncle Hoi”, with the help of his uncle, he opened a stationery stall in Kwun Tong 46 years ago. He has the knack to become a media heartthrob.
What looks like a small traditional stationery store, has more behind indeed. Hoi Kee has won the support of frequent customers in the neighborhood because it sells authentic goods at a good price, and his dedication is more commendable. Uncle Hoi knows everything about the stationery he sells, he masters all information on their origin, shells, inside, and proper use. He would pour out all he knows with his customers. In addition to popular and the latest stationery up in the market, Uncle Hoi also keeps sourcing classic stationery for his loyal customers, such as golden lead clutch pencil refills, Japanese Sakura brand eraser. At Hoi Kee, you will find both nostalgic and new stationery, which is not an ordinary stationery store or a large-scale chain store can provide.
Looking back on the past, it’s all hardship that he could afford to raise a family of seven. When talking about the early days when his stall was doing business at the market, he had to stay up late until one or two o’clock in the morning as he needed to replenish and re-display his stall. But for the sake of his family, he had to bite the bullet. Providence does not let down those with faith. With the continuous efforts of Uncle Hoi and his insistence, Hoi Kee has had many regular customers all these years. He always sticks to the ethics of “not cheating others, don’t scold people, no fake goods”. Despite he has relocated his shop for many times, Hoi Kee has frequent customers that span over several generations.
