HiStreet app — why people think we’re crazy but we’re not
HiStreet Hong Kong has reached 10,000 shops!
Currently our mobile app is available for download at the App Store, with 3 main districts with complete coverage, with more areas launching soon!
Not scraped from the web. Not crowd-sourced.
This is a significant accomplishment all thanks to our own Street Team, a group of energetic young individuals who help index every shop in Hong Kong for us. Each shop and its relevant information is collected one by one on the street, so as to verify its existence and accuracy.
Not scraped from the web. Not crowd-sourced. We believe this is the best way to get a complete, trustworthy database started.
Some people have said this is impossible and crazy, but with our continuous growth, we have proved that our meticulous process works. With Hong Kong’s physical retail market still dominating over e-commerce, we hope to be the middle ground, as an O2O platform that connects shoppers with local businesses.
Currently, we’re launched in:
- Wan Chai
- Causeway Bay
- Admiralty
Areas we’re launching soon:
- Tsim Sha Tsui
- Central
- More districts on Hong Kong Island
