40 Years of Bookazine: Family Legacy, Reinvention & Resilience

In this episode of Powerhouse, I visited Bookazine at Tai Kwun, Hong Kong, to chat with sisters Arti and Shonee, the inspiring leaders behind Hong Kong’s beloved family-run bookstore brand. They share how their parents’ 1970s book distribution business evolved into Bookazine, now celebrating 40 years. We talk about how they stepped up after their father’s passing, learned to balance their different strengths, and guided the company through challenges like SARS and COVID with inventive ideas—from themed promotions to a WhatsApp concierge and a revamped online store. We also discuss how they’re adapting to eBooks, Amazon, and AI by creating richer in-store experiences, author events, and children’s spaces. As they celebrate this milestone, Arti and Shonee reflect on the future—a new Repulse Bay store, creative workshops, and dreams of a bookstore café—along with honest insights on family, passion, and finding joy through books. 00:17 From Far East Media to Bookazine 01:51 Life Before Joining the Family Business 03:11 2002 Turning Point 04:52 Splitting Roles: Big Picture vs. Daily Ops 06:38 Working as Sisters: Conflict & Collaboration 10:27 Weathering SARS, COVID & Tech Disruption 13:50 Retail Reimagined: Kids’ Corner, Events & Community 15:58 Local Pride: Supporting HK Authors & Designers 17:59 40 Years of Bookazine: Growth & Milestones 21:13 What’s Next: Experience, Café Dreams & Festive Prep 23:22 Lessons & Personal Insights Subscribe to my podcast: https://anchor.fm/powerhouseJY https://bit.ly/PowerhouseJY https://www.instagram.com/powerhouse.jy/ More about Bookazine: https://bookazine.com.hk/ https://www.instagram.com/bookazinehk/ More About Joyce Yung: https://www.instagram.com/yungjoyce/ https://linktr.ee/yungjoyce
