Nightclub on site of Hong Kong’s famous BBoss halts operations after 2-month relaunch

Nightclub Big Boss Generation (BBG) has suspended operations just two months after it opened on the site of Hong Kong’s legendary Club BBoss with hopes of attracting tourists and young revellers eager for a taste of 1980s nightlife nostalgia.

A staff member at BBG told the Post on Wednesday that CEO Edward Li had informed employees not to come back to work, without providing more details.

BBG did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

More than a decade after Club BBoss closed, BBG launched in June in a 56,000 sq ft spot in New Mandarin Plaza in Tsim Sha Tsui East – the same site where the once-glamorous establishment operated for 28 years. BBG used the former occupant’s old Chinese name, which translates to Big Boss Club.

Local media reported that Li confirmed the suspension of operations starting on Wednesday and said it was possible that mainland investors would withdraw due to differences in business philosophy. He added that there was no timeline for the nightclub to reopen, according to the reports.

“Big Boss Club is not only a household name in Hong Kong, but a well-known global brand,” Li said at a grand opening ceremony on June 14 that was attended by Japanese actress Sola Aoi. “We want to continue to develop this home-grown Hong Kong intellectual property.”
