BEST @ Plaza Singapura Is CLOSING DOWN.

[ahleebabasingaporethief]

Walked past this place yesterday and there is a closing down sales. WOW!

Are they moving to somewhere cheaper or scaling down operations in rent expensive Singapore?

Also heard a BIG JAP store will be moving completely out of Singapore for good soon.

But GDP figures very good mah. Even better than CHINA....CAn believe ah?.

Jap Companies are starting to realize that middle-class Sinkies are generally too poor to buy their products and the GDP figures Singapore has is all but blowhard

So many are in HDB Arrears.. How can they afford to buy electronics from Best Denki??

Of course there are rich people in Singapore but in general, they are saving up to weather the next storm!

Actually there are other Best Denki stores elsewhere in Ngee Ann, Bishan, City Plaza... They are actually moving into the heartlands & away from high rent Orchard Rd.

Benst Denki at Compass Pt, SengKang...Century Square, Tampines...

Before Carrefour took over the basement...the NTUC venture US Themed suprmarket didn't make it... I think is was called Republic Supermarmet, they had one at Jurong point too, it closed down..

 

[manokie]

I think they are facing lots of rental issues in Orchard Road...

Lots of F&B have closed shop, I've heard...

A tough time for these developers

Leche to list all their branches lah, thats why I use " ..."

Who can forget that Republic supermarket ? NTUC's attempt to go upmarket, How many consumers are willing to pay more for Coke imported from the US

Back then you also had all those NTUC electronic stores. NTUC had plenty of $$$ to throw away on half baked business ventures, instead of giving back the $$ to it's members

NTUC should seriously try farming and producing their own food. This is the best way to pass savings to the consumers. Buying from other producers will always subject NTUC to fluctuations in prices and eat into their profit and increase costs for consumers.

This is rubbish. Just look at Courts. They have been tapping on the Mats and Minahs with their installments plans for years!

Same thing going on in Funan with the closing of Times book store, Delifrance, V.Hive furniture store & some other stores.

I think Capital Land owns Plaza Spura & Funan. I don't feel sorry for them, as they are one of those who keep raising the rentals..

Alamak, that japanese cheese/red bean pan cake moving out too :(

They are too greedy.... Why not boost the local expenditure by reducing rent and passing the savings to the consumers???

In return, Govt can reduce their taxes

The business model for this company is different. They are more into the "money lending" business with their hire-purchase schemes for the mats.

I doubt that anyone in NTUC has the ability to manage their own farms/producers like MacDonalds.

We're after talking about a company who's failed regionally & is only profitable in Spore with the protection of big brothers

Courts should stop preying on the Malays

Courts should stop preying on the Malays

That's because malays buy on installments and pay only the first two installments, after that Court never saw any more of the money
