After 19 years in the business, homegrown IT retailer Newstead goes into liquidation

 

 

SINGAPORE — Homegrown IT and electronics retailer Newstead Technologies is winding up its business after 19 years, and its troubles could leave Funan DigitalLife Mall without an anchor tenant when it reopens next year.

 

The company, which operates under the Newstead, DigitalStyle and Nubox brands, has been put under liquidation, according to a notice put up on the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority (Acra) website last week.

Eh is also coupled with I created by government regulation, economy is now not doing well and many other factors like increasing rental, rising electricity costs, rising labor cost, difficult to hire workers. So can not totally blame everything buy online. 1st thing 1st is further reduce regulatory requirements as much as possible so that retailers have easier time to comply and also to reduce business cost.

It was considered our playground back in the mid late 80s. Funan centre was infested with rats, and u could literally spot rats walking around inside the ceiling at the food court ceiling lol. The smell of the building is always the same.

 

If u remember the retail shop Rambo TV games, then high 5 to u!

You can see it coming..... I hope our non-mediocre multi-million dollar dream team can see it too....and not just focus on fixing opponents and insisting on minimum wage for themselves.

Previous anchor tenant at Funan was Challenger, did not know that Newstead was slated to be the new anchor tenant in the redeveloped mall.

 

For small IT items (eg thumbdrive, HDD, monitors), most of us already buy online. 

 

Bigger items like laptops etc, I personally find better deals at Courts, Best Denki etc when they run promos.

Newstead over-stretched.... open so many large shiny retail stores.....

 

Hopefully Challenger is in better state.

Indeed, still recall they had a huge shop in Suntec City and multiple shops at Marina Square and always no one. Reckon those are the ones that sunk em

 

Challenger has a better strategy, they open on those neighbourhood Malls and sell their Valore house brand to boost profit (how good it is is anyone Guess). The casualness of challenger prob also attracts more people to go browsing there

I used to buy laptop from them, and just recently my friend bought a laptop from them during the recent comex show.
