Black Friday bargains, freebies and tiered discounts: S’pore stores go all out to boost footfall

SINGAPORE – Singapore retailers are upbeat about higher sales this holiday season, with consumer spending expected to hit new highs in Orchard Road, the island’s premier shopping belt, at stores such as Takashimaya in Ngee Ann City and Courts Nojima in The Heeren.

Heartland shopping hubs are also gearing up for a busy Black Friday weekend, from Nov 28 to Cyber Monday on Dec 1.

These include Jurong Point in the north, Singapore’s biggest neighbourhood mall with more than 450 retail, dining and entertainment options. In eastern Singapore, Tampines is a draw for shoppers, with megamalls within walking distance of one another, such as Tampines Mall, Tampines 1 and Century Square.

A check by The Straits Times with 12 department stores shows that the mood is confident and preparation for a high volume of shoppers is in full swing.
