First overseas stop for a 30-year snack brand:
Qiwang Peanuts Hong Kong fully on Lekeos
From a street wok in Shanghai to a busy mall queue in Tseung Kwan O — Qiwang Peanuts brings Chinese roasted snacks to Victoria Harbour with Lekeos International.
Street-side craft, mall-ready experience
In 1995, founder Wang Qi set up a wok in Wuwei, Anhui, and started roasting snacks. In 2005, the first Qiwang Peanuts store opened in Shanghai. With small-batch roasting, in-house production, and direct stores, the red-sign brand expanded into shopping malls across 32 cities — a place young customers happily queue to taste.
By 2026, Qiwang Peanuts runs 597 direct stores and 1,400+ employees, adding about 150 stores a year against tough snack-retail competition — with raw-material control and full-chain QC that put one peanut at the top of its category.
With China coverage maturing, Qiwang looked further. In 2026, Qiwang Peanuts entered Hong Kong, opening first in Tseung Kwan O — the brand's first overseas step after 30 years.
Tseung Kwan O, Hong Kong: the red sign lights up
Tseung Kwan O is one of the densest residential mall districts in southeast New Territories — high traffic, high frequency, and a natural fit for bulk snacks. The Hong Kong store keeps the mainland model: on-site roasting, free tasting, bulk + gift packs — which puts very different demands on POS.
The overseas standard for bulk weighed retail
Bulk roasted snacks are one of retail's most detail-heavy formats: priced by weight, scale+POS as one, peak queues, and hard-to-control shrink. Lekeos International gives Qiwang's Hong Kong store a ready-to-run stack.
Scale + POS in one
Seamless link to store scales: weigh, charge, auto-convert amount — fewer manual errors and faster peak checkout.
Native Octopus payments
Built for Hong Kong payment habits. Octopus works out of the box — tap to pay for both seniors and younger shoppers.
Multi-currency · language · tax
Native multi-currency settlement, multi-language UI, and local tax rules — one system wherever stores open.
HQ cloud control
Products, prices, promotions, and inventory push from HQ cloud. New stores can go live the same day; operations data flows back in real time.
Since the Hong Kong store went live, Lekeos service has been outstanding and problem-solving first-class — from Octopus integration to daily ops, response speed and delivery far exceeded expectations. We are confident running Hong Kong fully on Lekeos.
