Daiso at Tampines 1 to close after 14 years

Daiso will be closing its Tampines 1 outlet after 14 years.

The closure was announced by the Japanese retailer via social media posts on June 6, which stated that the outlet's last day of business will be on June 21.

"It is with deepest regret to inform you that Daiso Tampines 1 will cease it's operations from June 22 onwards," the retailer wrote.

Daiso also thanked customers for their continuous support over the years and encouraged them to visit nearby outlets at Eastpoint Mall and Pasir Ris Mall after the closure.

It did not disclose any reasons for the closure.

In a social media post on Tuesday (June 9), Daiso Singapore said it was "blown away" by the support it received after announcing the closure of its Tampines 1 outlet.

"You made us realise our journey here isn't over yet," it said.

According to the retailer, the Tampines 1 outlet will be relocating to Century Square — a short distance from its current location.

"Thank you for the overwhelming love, and we can't wait to welcome you to our new space soon," it said, adding that more details will come closer to the date.

With the upcoming outlet at Century Square, the Japanese retail chain has 33 outlets in Singapore.

Over the past six months, the Japanese retailer chain has seen the closure of three outlets.

In April, Daiso shuttered its Sembawang Shopping Centre branch which had opened in 2008. 

Daiso also closed its 100AM outlet in Tanjong Pagar in January.
