Just as an aside, I recently spent some time in Hong Kong and was shocked at how many 7-11s I saw.
There were some sections in Kowloon where there was one every 100 yards.
They were small mind you, but they certainly had a strong presence.
That's pretty much how it is all over China, except they aren't all 7-11. They are 7-11 sized grocery stores. Remember, it has only been recently that an average Chinese can buy cars, so everything had to be within walking distance. So they developed small stores rather than large ones you had to drive to.

I believe a southeast asian company bought out the southland corporation in the nineties. So that’s not too suprising. was this the area being redeveloped over by where old Kai Tak airport and the walled city was?

Years ago in Bangkok, a Thai boy practicing his English asked me if we had 7-11s in America. It took me a second to answer. I haven't seen one in the South in a long time; they've pretty much been displaced by QuikTrip, Racetrac, oil company C-stores, and the occasional Circle-K.
