I believe Giant had a bigger share in fresh vegetables. They are the biggest import of vege from MY as Giant is from Malaysia if I am not mistaken..... Can see 90% of the cashier (IMM branch) are from Malaysia... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Othello Supersonic April 1, 2013 Share April 1, 2013 Shop N Save outlet is just 5 mins walk away, I go there when I need to get some small supplies. For major shopping, usually go NTUC. But lately the NTUC Xtra near my house disappointed me, cannot even find salted fish + lemongrass Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PorkChong Clutched April 1, 2013 Share April 1, 2013 never heard the rumours that they are connected to the familee before ? !!!!! no wonder from a wear singlet uncle manning a grocery shop to now wearing suit sponsoring tv programs and ability to sit up and down with the likes of NTUC. it must be good to be connected with the famiLEE.how do i get started connecting with the famiLEE? i also want to be the next sing siong.i can start off opening a small hawker stall in the market,it shouldn't costs that much for overheads.

Nzy Twincharged April 1, 2013 Share April 1, 2013 I usually go to the NTUC which is 5min away from my house. Also got one shop&Save 5min from my house but their prices usually higher.

Rubbishman 1st Gear April 1, 2013 Share April 1, 2013 actually what happened to the prime ah? used to see lots of them around but now like left only few branches.. while the sing siong,don't know out of nowhere sprout out everywhere within these few years. Prime left with 19 outlets in Singapore. Am surprised by such a number as I only frequent a few outlets only such as the one at Aljunied which is along the way to my office. http://www.primesupermarket.com/index.php/our-outlets Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
