夢想號創業者Waffleman － 帶正宗比利時窩夫落戶赤柱廣場
Waffleman – Bringing Authentic Belgian Waffles to Stanley Plaza

Wendy數年前讀大學在比利時吃到當地正宗的列日(Liege)窩夫，當時就想把它們帶回香港。這個夢想在她畢業後持續發酵。終於，Wendy在工作兩年後毅然辭職。她遠赴比利時到處叩門，最後成功拜師學藝，兩個月後帶著一身做列日窩夫的好功夫回港。

首次創業波折重重，叩門學藝之後的另一考驗是尋找店舖開業─原來要找到相信她的理念的業主並非易事。在兩個月的尋尋覓覓中，她終於找到了。「赤柱廣場對我來說是夢想成真的地方。」赤柱為香港的熱門觀光勝地，能接觸附近居民，以至海外及本地遊客，而且附近環境優美，管理完善。最後讓她在赤柱廣場落戶的關鍵原因乃源於一致的理念，「當我和領匯租務部商討租舖時，我們的著眼點是如何為顧客帶來更好的選擇及愉快的體驗。」她感激領匯在她準備開店期間提供了不少支援，包括以優惠價錢在廣場內投放廣告。

Wendy希望生意上軌道後能開分店，令更多人認識比利時列日窩夫。下次到訪赤柱廣場時，不妨為她打打氣吧！

When Wendy first tasted traditional Liege waffles in Belgium a few years ago, she immediately wanted to bring this unique taste back to Hong Kong. After working for two years, she resigned from her full-time job, and over the next two months, she travelled to Belgium to learn the secret of making the perfect Liege waffle.

The next challenge was finding a suitable place for her new shop, appropriately called Waffleman. After searching around, she chose to start her business in The Link's Stanley Plaza, where she would have the opportunity to reach a wide range of customers, from local residents to overseas tourists. What sealed Wendy's decision was the fact that The Link shared her vision of bringing more options and better experiences to customers. In addition, The Link offered Wendy different types of support as she prepared to open Waffleman.

Wendy hopes she can help popularise Liege waffles in Hong Kong by opening more Waffleman shops. Give her some support when you drop by Stanley Plaza!
