The globally adored yellow rubber duck is set to make its appearance at Kaohsiung’s Glory Pier on September 19. To welcome the Taiwanese debut of the yellow duck in Kaohsiung, the Uni-President Department Store’s Xinzuoying Station Branch has mobilized rubber ducks from all its branches nationwide to jointly create Taiwan’s one-of-a-kind Uni-President Duck-themed station. The store has also set up a Uni-President Duck-themed exhibition area and a fun duck-themed staircase, welcoming the arrival of the yellow duck together with the people of Kaohsiung in an ultra-cute style.

The five Uni-President Ducks on display not only boast adorable appearances but also each have their own unique personalities, symbolizing the positioning and characteristics of each Uni-President Department Store branch. The “Dream Duck” from the Zhonghe Branch is outgoing and lively, striving to become tomorrow’s star; the “Beauty Duck” from the Banqiao Branch is kind and peace-loving, believing that beautiful things can make the world a better place; the “Shakespeare Duck” from the Xinzuoying Branch loves beach volleyball and is a superstar on Uni-President beaches; the “Surf Duck” from the Pingtung Branch is sunny and enthusiastic, with the goal of surfing on beaches around the world; and the “Wish Duck” from the Hsinchu Branch is passionate about art and culture, using sky lanterns to illuminate everyone’s wishes.

Additionally, Shakespeare Duck will make surprise appearances at various specialty stores. Whenever you spot Shakespeare Duck in a store, it means exclusive offers are available. On September 21, TASTY Café will host a “Tea Time – Duck Cupcake Decoration DIY” event at the 3F Duck Plaza.
