13177 Supersonic December 27, 2014 Share December 27, 2014 (edited) Another mega concept store opened. How come they still believe such store can survive here? Even after many such store closed down after several years of operation here?! Edited December 27, 2014 by 13177 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watwheels Supersonic December 27, 2014 Share December 27, 2014 I for one dun like to shop in big stores. I would want to quickly find what I want, pay and get out. I have neither the patience nor the energy to shop in a big store. Last thing I want is to get lost in it. If they have an equally big carpark dan ppl would easily get lost 2 times just to shop there. If your wife ask you where have you been the whole day, you can always say you got lost at big box. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icedbs Turbocharged December 27, 2014 Share December 27, 2014 I was there earlier this morning. Free parking as the carpark gantries are not up yet. Can park there and walk over to Jems. Prices not that fantastic, but it will be cheaper if you buy 2 or more. They also sell rims and tyres. Err......rims and tyres? Cash and carry??

Icedbs Turbocharged December 27, 2014 Share December 27, 2014 (edited) some information on Big Box http://ttinternational.listedcompany.com/newsroom/20141227_125151_T09_KISQC4UZP1W3FN59.1.pdf Interesting that the GM and Deputy CEO put down their mobile number. .

Yewheng Twincharged December 28, 2014 Share December 28, 2014 Interesting that the GM and Deputy CEO put down their mobile number. . Perhaps they want to hear the grounds, feedback from public directly. Or if anyone have question, call to enquire stuff there is not available, they can react immediately. A good move I feel. I wish them to have a great success in opening up this business. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babyt 4th Gear December 28, 2014 Share December 28, 2014 (edited) not cheap leh. price offer if buy 2 items for groceries i can buy elsewhere on normal day offer. for example, cheapest UHT was 2 for 2.90 from uruguay origin. I can get 2 for 2.95 from devondale from NZ origin. kettlechip buy 2 offer price also same like normal day offer. the men clothing sells no frill brands...usually we wont buy de unless u r uncle lor. there is one section selling ornaments and useless deco stuffs....im amazed they gave such a big area to sell those trashy. The markings in the carpark not clear. the white markings blend with the concrete ground. pls la. singapore is an import country, we dont produce our own products, how cheap can the price be? supplier and retailer need a share of profit to pay rents....

Flying_genie 6th Gear December 28, 2014 Share December 28, 2014 The rental for such a big area is going to be a killer. Another killer factor is the fact that not many people in Singapore have their own cars to transport their purchases. Costco's concept is much better. Their brands are great. They have their own house brand (Kirkland) which is good and cheap. They sell other brands for a great price. They sell everything one needs from birth till death : diapers, milk => caskets! (I kid you not!). Fresh food (vegetable, fruit, meat, seafood) also available. Their membership card purchased in one country can be used worldwide.

Greatodin 3rd Gear December 28, 2014 Share December 28, 2014 Feel like going over there to look see tomorrow. How was the parking there? I reached big box at ard 10.15am...ample parking space...

Wt_know Supersonic December 28, 2014 Share December 28, 2014 (edited) no worries on rental. bigbox (the company) own the whole building - build from ground up that also means they have a huge mortgage repayment ... lol either rental or mortgage ... still have to pay at least not at the mercy of landlord anyhow raise rental 50-100% la ... but interest rate is also going to rise?
