15% OFF all retail lines. One Day Only!

Thanks to everyone who completed our survey. It will remain up for a while longer and I do look at every response. So far it's been a very informative exercise and has given me a better understanding of shopping habits in Peterborough.

On Friday 25th we'll be holding a discount day at the shop. We began trading in Peterborough in 1998 so Friday marks the start of our 15th year! To celebrate we'll be taking 15% OFF all our retail lines, so it's a great time to be stocking up on all those essential ingredients!. Soy sauce, oyster sauce, noodles, rice ...

Just do your shop as usual and we'll deduct 15% at the till!

It's a one-day only event - don't miss out!

*Offer excludes wholesale items, bulk items, previously discounted items and some non-food products.

What Does Your High Street Mean To You?

MAKE A DIFFERENCE - COMPLETE OUR SURVEY!

There has been a lot of attention on our high streets lately. With the help of retail expert Mary Portas, the government's attention has been drawn towards the state of our high streets and whether they are actually as important and relevant now as they used to be.

It wasn't very long ago that the only way to buy everything you needed in one place was to make a trip to the city centre where you wold find shops that specialised in a narrow range if products.

So you'd buy records (remember those?!) from a record shop clothes from a clothes shop and food from a grocer's. Only in the bigger cities would you find department stores that were able to present an expanded offering under one roof. And these would invariably be located right in the heart of city centres and were prized for their ability to draw shoppers in from outside the city.

And it seems that having a large range isn't always enough nowadays. Woolworths used to be the place to go for pretty much anything. Picture hooks, pots and pans, children's clothes, confectionery, stationery ...

So, I was wondering how relevant the high street is today. With online shopping, fuel prices and parking all on the up, do you still come into the city centre "just to pick up a few bits"? Or do you need a really compelling reason to make the effort? What would make YOU plan a trip into the city? Or perhaps you work in the centre and value the convenience?

In order to really understand how important it is that the city centre offers a mixture of business, and what more we could be doing at Janson Hong, I would urge you to spend a couple of minutes completing our online survey. It's a few quick qeustions and I hope that more insight into the way you shop will benefit you.

Thank you for taking the time to complete the survey.

Year of the Dragon

January 23rd this year marks the start of the year of the Dragon in the Lunar Calendar.

So if you were born in a Dragon Year (1952, 1964, 1976, 1988, 2000) this could well be your year. in fact a dragon year is often considered a good year for everyone.

Dragons are said to be quite independent although they do get on well with those of other signs, especially with monkeys and rats. Is this true of you?

We hope 2012 will be a good year for us at Janson Hong too. We've got plans for some new events and products and will be looking to repeat the success we had in 2011.

We look forward to giving you the best we have to offer and hope to see you in store again very soon!

Seasons Greetings!

Merry Christmas from all of us at Janson Hong!

We're looking forward to a couple of days off after a pretty hectic week, but we'll be back again on Tuesday 27th.

We hope to see you again once you have recovered from the excesses of the holiday!
