Metro plaza where Merlin hotel and later plaza hotel was (now park royal hotel). The outlet later became a metro factory outlet.....now furniture mall. I saw they converted the multi storey car park there into another hotel - holiday inn.....really maximize space.
Metro supreme was at supreme house Penang road now park mall. The outlet briefly became a skating rink after metro closed the store.
Metro used to be everywhere....far east plaza, lucky plaza had stores too.
I'm younger than your 62 so my memory is better hehe

The Attic is still around, recent months bumped into the shop, I think it is at Novena Square. What is that guy name, I forgot, the shop was at The Centrepoint for ages, he was involved in some court case, some years back. Never bought from that shop, all the years in existence...so expensive, wonder, how he survived??

On the same floor of Centrepoint where Attic was located, Supreme Records Shop was my favorite shop.

The poor Hainanese owner had to close shop because he was struck down with cancer.

I remembered queuing to enter Tony Roma's first day opposite orchard towers ....their BBQ baby back cost 18 bucks then.....American portions.
It was owned by Indonesian owner and they later opened another outlet in wisma.
Dan Ryan's came later and opened in tanglin area and not forgetting to mention Denny's.....especially the yen San building outlet where you can hook angmo chicks during the weekends at the downstairs bar.
Sizzler's predecessor was ponderosa.....ordering the salad alone was enough liao

Sizzler of Australia was brought into S'pore by Mr Ang Kheng Hwee of Kwang Sia & Co Ltd.

He only paid $200,000 to secure the sole agency, but had to close down after losing money for three years.

Before the existence of Club Kabuki, there was Silver Star Nite Club at Orchard.

I doubt they made money too given the greedy sinkies.....
All you can eat buffet concept hard to make with greedy sinkies......
Overseas hotels known to withdraw their buffet for sinkie tour groups

Yes the metro at beach road (Merlin/plaza hotel) was known as metro golden mile as the area/stretch was known as golden mile. But metro never had a presence in the building known as golden mile complex.
