Close is good. Cost too high. Once the rent cheaper until can afford, then open again.

I noe many in jb open like no tml. Mayb many coming over open.

Leftover in sg is caipng/kopishop/supermarket for basic living. The rest move out liao.

Everything rises.
And government really can't solve the issue what we peasants are suffering now.
Going cdc is just a plaster relieve .

Baleno and giordano actually have better quality than uniqlo. I mean really alot better.

Used to be in clothing. At one point, I remember their gm was targeting and aiming to be close to Ralph Lauren, just that people don't see that the material is close, just look at the brand.

But there are even better cheaper ones out there.

Samuel and Kevin had very good pants and jeans with free alteration.

Hang ten is a terrible company. Not sure about now, they paid the lowest among the brands and made the staffs pay for damages or losses. At one point, could see bangla working inside.

I go Uniqlo because they have the best minimalist designs with no ugly logos. I don't wear loud graphic tees or shirts/t-shirts with logos anymore. Ever since I realise we are just advertising for them. I don't think Uniqlo's quality is any worse. They last quite long also. Just that their colour choices now are quite bad.

True. Next time u drive a conti car, remember to cover the badge. They should pay u to advertise for them!
