The refurbishment will cost £2 million and hopes to attract more overseas visitors. Only the interior will be redesigned as Harrods is a grade II listed building and its exterior cannot be modified by laws protecting historic buildings in the United Kingdom. Around 20% of its customers are from Mainland China. The department store has channeled more money into E-commerce platforms to promote purchases even accepting Alipay for these customers. WeChat will be become a payment option next year.
