Good Fortune Has Arrived

Pawn shops are some of the oldest businesses in Hong Kong, dating back more than 200 years ago.  Pawn shop names are unique as well.  They tent to include words which are associated with the idea of being harmonious or prosperous.  The hope is that this will encourage business and bring good luck.  The sign design, with the upside-down bat and coin, is also lucky.  The Chinese word for bat, "fook" sounds similar to "fortune", while the phrase "upside-down bat" sounds familiar to "fook dau", which means "good fortune has arrived".
