Wellcome

Wellcome (zh-c|c=惠康 in Hong Kong; 頂好 in Taiwan) is a supermarket chain owned by Jardine Matheson Holdings via its Dairy Farm subsidiary. The Wellcome supermarket chain is one of the two largest supermarket chains in Hong Kong (the other is PARKnSHOP). Wellcome also operates supermarkets in the Republic of China (Taiwan) under the Wellcome name. The parent company, Dairy Farm, also has other supermarket interests in the Asia Pacific under different brand names.

It should be noted that the correct spelling of the name of the supermarket should be "Wellcome" (double L), instead of the English greeting "Welcome" (single L).
