Isetan Tampines to close in November
The Straits Times
|May 08, 2025
Department store operator Isetan Singapore will close its outlet at Tampines Mall in November, it announced on May 6.
Speaking to The Straits Times, a company spokesperson said that the decision was made as its lease was coming to an end.
The department store has been an anchor tenant in Tampines Mall since the mall opened in 1996.
"We have decided to close the store after careful consideration of local conditions and future profitability, allowing us to better align with the business objectives," the spokesperson said.
Isetan plans to hold a clearance sale ahead of the store's closure, with more details to be announced.
Shoppers who frequent Tampines Mall said it was a pity that the Isetan outlet will be closing.
"I do feel nostalgic knowing now that Isetan is closing down - it was and maybe still is an iconic part of Tampines Mall," said Mr Chua, a financial consultant.
