Swire Coca-Cola HK Pop-Up Store – Times Change, Our Passion Remains
The “Coca-Cola” bottling plant based in Siu Lek Yuen in Sha Tin, the world’s tallest bottling facility, consists of 18 stories and measures in at 147 meters (equivalent to 57 stories of a commercial building). Its observation deck and “Coca-Cola” Museum have hosted numerous students and organizations over the years, becoming a part of Hong Kong’s collective memory. Due to major renovations beginning last year, the deck and museum had to be closed temporarily.
To commemorate the 55th anniversary of Swire Coca-Cola Hong Kong, the company is launching a pop-up store at The Mills in Tsuen Wan from 1 September to 27 September 2020. The pop-up aims to spread joy and laud the memories of this milestone.
Event Date: 1 September – 27 September 2020
Opening Hours: 11:00am – 9:00pm (10 sessions in total per day, 45 mins per session)
Venue: Shop 301, 3/F, The Mills, 45 Pak Tin Par Street, Tsuen Wan, Hong Kong
The pop-up store, covering more than 1,300 square feet, is divided into four sections:“Coca-Cola” wall of history
Welcoming visitors right at the entrance is the “Coca-Cola” and the Swire Coca-Cola Hong Kong wall of history. In 1886, John Pemberton, an American pharmacist, created “Coca-Cola” as an instant beverage served at pharmacies; today, it is sold globally and one of the world’s most recognized brands. The wall highlights the many achievements of “Coca-Cola” and helps visitors better understand the company’s story.Historical photos section
A number of photographs capturing the most memorable moments of “Coca-Cola”:
1. For decades, the advertising efforts of “Coca-Cola” have been ubiquitous: delivery trucks, public transportation, outdoor advertising, and major events.
2. Iconic images from the past of “Coca-Cola” involve many of its endorsers and award-winning posters; for example, famed opera singer Lillian Nordica in 1904, the arrival of ‘Sprite Boy’ in 1942, and the first local Chinese endorser Lin Dai in the 1950s.
“Coca-Cola” memorabilia section
More than a thousand pieces of eye-opening memorabilia are divided into 16 categories: “Coca-Cola” bottle collectibles, marketing products, World Cup, the Olympics, fashion, music, movies, cities, different languages, odd-shaped bottles, toys, polar bears, Christmas, co-branded souvenirs, home appliances and iconic sets.Wall of “Coca-Cola” collectible bottles and cans

Through the generosity of the “Coca-Cola” Hong Kong Collectors Club and other private collectors, the wall exhibits unique and never-seen-before bottles and cans.“Coca Cola” Charity BottleVisitors can create a bottle with their own image imprinted on it.
