Chitchat Robinsons Collapsed after 162 Years - FTs and Dirty $$$ Tiongs Indons not Shopping???

[Scrooball (clone)]

I believe the next retailer to possibly go down will be Kinokuniya. The rental at orchard must be killing them. Ppl hardly buy physical books these days.

Whenever I want to read, I just borrow the ebook for free from the national library app.

I bet the next to go is metro. They try to mimic Robinson. Might as well join them.

There is no poverty in those days of kampong life style living.

Asians don't need live under the shadow of BE life style, greed. Poverty is defined by BE to humiliate Asians are poor people live Not in the lifestyle of the Pommies...

Yarlor ,

did I said we didn’t enjoy our poverty cycle childhood ?

Time to kick out anything to do with the evil BE past.

Time to replace BE road names in Singapore too. Malaysia got rid of BE road names long ago.

If PAP LKY can kick out Queens Counsel lawyers from Supreme Court, time to kick out BE road names.

Departmental stall is an obsolete business model .

Uniglo, Zara, h &m makes more money per outlet than entire Robinson department store I reckon.

Yes.
The supermarket in East Coast Katong.

Retail is dead, because people buy online. Cheaper and more convenient. Landlords ought to know it by now. Only churches and health spas are viable businesses, hence retail space ought to be rented out to them.

Less crowd in little india.
This will greatly affect gin's business?.

Online no fun. Imagine a life where you just sit at home.

Bricks and mortar shop is gonna be history.
Even household items can be bought online.

Need to still go out for many things lah. For instance, to fulfill our spiritual and sexual needs, so fun.

Yeah but sometimes there are dishonest online merchants, warranty/return issues and the photo looks better than the product.

And you have to wait for the product to be delivered.

Some things are better bought offline.

Tiongs indon shop robinson?
Not hermes LV etc?

OG is surviving because OG shops are owned by OG and OG does not need to pay rental and so OG is just ‘Chiam-See-Tong’ and they are still surviving. The same goes to CK Tang which owns the building at orchard
