Metro to close Sengkang outlet after 12 years
- Thread starter makapaaa
- Start date
a lot of Ah Nehs from India shop at Mustafa mah..............also they got the money to have their own building........
No, leh. There is still plenty of money in the reserves. Paps could still give free money away to pinoys when their country was hit by natural disaster.
Why these ah nehs not shopping at the other retailers?
MC sells everything under one roof, all halal stuffs, Chinese goods, Malay food stuffs, fast foods, restaurant, everything a customer needs. Instead of setting up branches here and there, MC has one inter-linked shopping mall in three different locations but still under one roof.
None of these other retailers able to do what MC is doing. Chinese, local and from PRC and other foreigners, non-ah nehs also shop at MC.
Yes, the other end of the road, was "talk of the town" at the traffic lights junction, then to a club sandwich with tomato juice at Polar cafe, where in that row, we have Ensign Book Store & that Indian or was it Sri Lankan Jewelry Show "de Silva"?...
High Street was the place, some of shops are still around, the shop that sells baking stuffs, Chong or something is at The Adelphi 2nd floor, Pin Pin Optical is at Funan The It Mall, Dada used to be around on the ground floor, they folded some years ago.
Family used to shop & eat at High Street vicinity..there was a Zee Fatt Tailor , ha ha ha & every Lunar New Year , a new pair of leather shoes from that mama Indian Shop that sells Clarke shoes, Salamander, etc... forgotten the name.
Metro started on High Street...later years, we had Emporium at High Street Centre....then Cortina Departmental Shop....
Same for me. Back in the mid-80s, metro was the place where I would go check out clothes with brands like Sahara Club, Reno, Seiji Sugihara, Texwood, Amco, IXIZ. Later when serving NS in the late-80s, I would go Printemps to hunt for book out baju.
The best Metro was the one at Golden Mile in the 70s, the biggest and very well-hidden.
The toys department was simply the best, covering the entire 3rd floor.

I went there for Icee....sometimes the bear mascot would be around.
This was the predecessor to slurpy
I think they have closed the branch at Funan. When I was younger I used to go to an optician opposite Odean Theatre at North Bridge Road which is now the Bras Basah complex. I think it might have been the original Pin Pin store
During the 70's Metro had a store at Penang Road called Supreme House which is today called Park Mall. Park Mall is not as interesting because all you find there is expensive furniture.
30 to 40 years from now, the next generation would be reminiscing about which online site they purchased their things, maybe ebay may be defunct by then.
Mustafa can survive because it is the one and only store....ask them go to the heartlands and see if they survive....same for Metro, JL, Robinsons, Isetan they started suffering when they went out to the heartlands....isetan may be ok coz they always get the support of the Japanese community and currently operates in the heartlands strategically 1 in the east and 1 in the west
