Jman888 Moderator January 5, 2015 Share January 5, 2015 These kind of warehouse selling is nothing new. Last time IMM also used the same concept. Somehow it did not pick up. Guess the volume of sales is not sustain the concept. Let's see how it works this time... it still will not work this time cos now there is internet shopping ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karoon Turbocharged January 5, 2015 Share January 5, 2015 it still will not work this time cos now there is internet shopping I havent tried internet grocery shopping yet but there seem to be limited products online. I guess supermarkets won't be keen to offer this as they will lose lots of impulse buys. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Porche 5th Gear January 5, 2015 Share January 5, 2015 Tyres from Tyres queen. Workshop opening upstairs soon. But think you still can buy and DIY the tyre change.

Darryn Turbocharged January 5, 2015 Share January 5, 2015 true true ... each time when my wife bought groceries home and said got promotion i told her ... anything more than 2 packets is excessive liao ... promo come and go ... don't have to whack so many just because of promo ... it's a gimmick ... Wah... At one point I had about two dozen 1.15 kg tins of dog food stacked in the bomb shelter (use about one every two days) along with about 8 packets of baby milk powder (about one every 3 days)... Is easy for the stuff to build up... If on promo, buy buy buy lor.....so far away... got tyre and rims , in the same level as the supermarket, one of the lanes . . . . -------quoted from report ----- Big Box is poised to serve the larger Jurong community which, Ms Tong-Sng says, has about 1.2 million residents, a figure which includes those staying in Bukit Batok and Clementi. Citing market research done by the company, she adds that there is also a "mobile population of about 1.2 million people from the 2,200-odd factories in the area". Then there is Singapore's first drive-through option for shoppers to pick up goods - only non-perishables - ordered online from the hypermarket. Drivers can head to service bays in Basement One to pick up their items, which will also be pre-packed. Or they can buy services such as bus rides to Kuala Lumpur, music lessons for children and entrance tickets to attractions - all at discounted prices. Customers can also buy car tyres, which can be fitted on the spot. They can check out what wheels to buy in the tyre section of the hypermarket - the first Singapore store to have this option.

Sounds like fun, I wonder if can also buy diaphragms in the condom section.... Or am I just being overly harsh? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camrysfa Turbocharged January 5, 2015 Share January 5, 2015 Not surprising that the crowds at Joo Koon NTUC is thin. They are the most ulu hypermart now. They better have something else there which will make people go there and then drop by NTUC. There are lots of F&B, one of which is a pretty big seafood restaurant - House of Seafood. The F&B are hoping for business from people shopping there. Is NTUC hoping for people to go there to eat and then shop? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camrysfa Turbocharged January 5, 2015 Share January 5, 2015 Heh....wheels in the tyre section!! Sounds like fun, I wonder if can also buy diaphragms in the condom section.... Or am I just being overly harsh? seriously, having a tyre shop in BB is a plus. sometimes, we may need to change tyres urgently or fix a nail poke problem, it is convenient to go there. put the car there and go jalan jalan in aircon comfort. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpha78 6th Gear January 6, 2015 Share January 6, 2015 You guys got watch extreme couponing reality show.. Their buy and buy till the basement is like a minimart. Really extreme. After that they will need a warehouse inventory system, otherwise they won't know what they have, and what's about to expire. Heck, can even build a walk-in freezer for frozen food if they buy that much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karu 6th Gear January 6, 2015 Share January 6, 2015 S'porean are too pampered!! If the environment not nice or really like warehouse, not many people will turn up. Because shopping is considered a pastime here not a chore like going marketing. So the overall experience is very important. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
