Philanthropy

Foundation of the Pacific Coffee Company

In Hong Kong, Neir discovered that there was a lack of European-style coffee houses. He set up the Pacific Coffee Company, targeted at top business persons and senior executive-level customers in Hong Kong. The first retail outlet was located in the Bank of America Tower, Central, Hong Kong.

In 1994, Wharf Holdings (51% of share) and Dr. Roger King (49% of share) acquired Pacific Coffee Company.

The number of Pacific Coffee Company stores and outlets is over 135 in Hong Kong and over 400 locations in Asia, primarily China.
