For me I don't mind it this way cuz I cook the same things for my meals every week. So I can go through these packs quite fast. So if the offer is good I don't mind to buy more.

Mercury1 Turbocharged December 28, 2014 Share December 28, 2014 Using the figures from the article it says the building cost 320 million for 1.3 Million square feet built up that works out to be a rough cost of 250 psf ppr, since its industrial space land lease should be cheap as well. The flip side is they can use the space for retail, 250 psf ppr for building cost is cheap compared to an actual cost of building a properly zoned commercial retail building. IMM Retail rental is about 25 - 35 psf (but likely has gone up), if this big box company charges say 10 bucks psf for retail space, using their 1.3M sq feet of space that is about 156M per year, of course without the interest charge and land lease cost, tax etc cannot really work out final net margins. Judging from the IMM crowds I won't be surprise if this place gets a good portion of that audience. I mean all these are just really rough sums, I could be very wrong would appreciate some views if so. 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. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a one time capex. ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
