If you're talking about supermarkets, the two major ones in Hong Kong are Wellcome and Park'n Shop.

Two closest Wellcomes are:
- 28 Hankow Road, HK Pacific Center, basement
- 74-76 Nathan Road, Mansion House, basement

Two closest Park'n Shops are:
- 188 Canton Road, Victoria Mall, Level 2
- 96 Granville Rd, Hilton Towers, ground floor

Can't say which one is the closest, but the Park'n Shop on Canton Road is probably the furthest.

Oh, and I assume you're staying at the old Hyatt Regency in Tsimshatsui, and not the Grand Hyatt at the Convention Center.

Thanks RKwan! We're at the Hyatt on Nathan Rd. I think we want supermarkets because the items are probably cheaper than at smaller markets. But if the supermarkets are too far or if it's too much of a hassle to get to, then we can go to the smaller markets, especially if the smaller markets have about the same prices.

The Wellcome at 28 Hankow Road is just behind the Hyatt. The Hyatt's main entrance faces Lock Road, and Hankow Road is the next street to the west. 2 minutes walk.
