Not really surprising with the increasing popularity of online shopping, although I am sad to see it go.
I think that Dairy Farm can still improve Giant business model in terms of better pricing and variety. And also integrate online shopping as well.
Cold Storage has the exclusivity for that and serving consumers of the upper mid tier markets with its wide range of products, including some house brands.
Life style theme seems rather useless since it is mostly ends up like a short term fad.
Meanwhile there is still a Cold Storage in Harbourfront.

Vivo default always so many people, even there is no supermarket there i think the place still very crowded. Anyway, good to open NTUC Xtra, i prefer NTUC than other supermarket. Seems like Giant closed many of their outlets?

Look at the surrounding residential population... Almost 90% private housing and across the causeway multimillion sentosa cove properties.
Giant at Vivo at that floor size (read rental) is a stretch.
If you ask me, they should have closed giant and expand the cold storage to about half the size of giant.
The cold storage can offer even wider unique selection of international products that expats and higher income shoppers will travel there specifically to buy. Online shopping and delivery is a given must have.

NTUC will occupied the same floor size as the Giant?

I only like the Giant bakery stuff. Their fruits and vege not fresh and so ugly looking. And why would I be so hard up for passion card points? The previous Shop N Save outlets which has now become Giant usually very messy because of the small space.
Rather pay more at NTUC, at least the QC is better even at the non-Finest branches and earn the more useful linkpoints.

Ntuc will occupy giant + cold storageNTUC will occupied the same floor size as the Giant?

Fully agreed.
Those former shop & save the vege and fruits nows are messy and a lot of time not fresh.
For Bakery, no local supermarket come close to the former Carrefour.

The Giant at Suntec City is not giant at all.

"VivoCity houses another supermarket, Cold Storage, but it too will shut on the same day."
There's a cold storage at Vivo?
Cold storage is at the entrance to the giant.
I always thought it was weird because CS and Giant are owned by the same fellows.
Anyway, I seldom visit Vivo (too crowded) but will miss Giant there. Don't think I will even walk around NTUC or SS.

I am the weird one here... Everywhere I go, especially when overseas, I will always target the supermarkets there. So even though my visits to vivo also can hand count, but my favourite place will be the supermarket. 😂I never knew there is a supermarket in vivo.ð

Giant hypermarts also have quite an extensive range of alcoholic drinks. And its usually cheaper than other hypermart. Plus the one at vivo actually allows patrons to buy and drink on the spot at an onsite seating area with food offerings.I only like the Giant bakery stuff.
