OG to shut Orchard Point store after 18 years

[Johnrambo]

Department store chain OG will shut its Orchard Point outlet in October after 18 years at the location.


"As part of our long-term strategy, we are looking to open more outlets closer to our suburban customers," said OG on Thursday (Jul 21).


OG said a local business dealing in fresh food and grocery will take over the space at Orchard Point, although it did not reveal who the tenant is.


"As building owner, OG has been looking at ways to move with the STB-URA vision to revive Orchard Road as a great shopping street and for a differentiated shopping experience to the Somerset zone," said the company.


"Over the years, many different businesses have approached OG to lease the shopping podium of the OG Orchard Point building but we were not convinced that their concepts would achieve that vision.

What are those dumbass scholars plotting this time? Turn that part of Orchard Road into another hipster 'lifestyle mall' like the new Funan?

It was first at the old Plaza Singapura. Then it moved to opposite Specialist Centre (where Courts is now). Then to the present location at Orchard Point.

OG sells mostly clothings for old farts and old cunts. But surprisingly, can find "Edwin" jeans there. My favourite brand for jeans.

Too young to remember this. But I still remember the Savewell supermarket. It was Savewell vs NTUC vs Emporium back then.
