Gary, THIS HK news will impact Iomega: HONG KONG (Reuters) - Thousands of Hong Kong people besieged outlets of one of the territory's favorite cake shops after rumors the chain was about to collapse. Anxious locals scrambled into queues at Saint Honore Cake Shop Ltd outlets to redeem cake gift coupons they feared they could lose because of the rumored closure. The bakery chain's parent company Yaohan International Caterers Ltd denied the rumors, saying they were churned up by the recent closure of Japanese-controlled local department store chain Yaohan Department Store (HK) Ltd. At one Saint Honore shop alone, more than a thousand people lined up to exchange coupons for cakes. "I have pity for these gentlemen and ladies because they have to queue up for no purpose (other than) rumors saying that tomorrow we are going to close down business," Yaohan Caterers managing director Glenn Chan told reporters. "This is 100 percent absurd. We just opened another three cakeshops," he said. The bakery said in a statement that it, along with more than 40 shops, was debt free with strong accounts, and was financially sound and would continue to expand its operation. Although Yaohan Caterers belongs to the same wider family of companies as Yaohan Department store, the store owns no shares in the cake chain. Wedding couples often give friends cake coupons instead of wedding cakes for the sake of convenience, while economy-conscious Hong Kongers also snap up discount cake coupons.
