Don’t see the relevance of independent 24hr convenience store concept in local context, especially when petrol kiosk with 24hr convenience shop, plus certain 24hr supermarkets, as well as 24hr online grocery delivery service, where’s the demand gonna come from?
Oh yah and add on to that are the increasing popularity of vending machines as well eating into their market

Can only say orbigoot. One mineral water sell $3 above. Other place only 50cents.

In Thailand more and more open up, you know the reason why it starts to close down one by one in Singapore.
Yes I dun understand why. Thailand and Philippines their water and tibits are all cheap and maybe expensive a bit from their local market. But we all go and buy.

I was once suspecting Thai and Philippines 7-eleven also sell exorbitant price. To my check, no they don't like Singapore. Only Singapore and Malaysia 7-eleven sell expensive.

Malaysia still manageable. Their drink still consider same as outside price.

If Singapore 7-eleven be realistic a bit and follow the provisionshop price. More people will patronize them. Lik one bottle 250ml selling at $1.40, 1 can selling 0.80 to $1.

7-eleven ice coke 250ml selling $2. How to accept this kind of price.

7-eleven fruit juice ok $2.50 same everywhere

They tried to copy Japanese conbini concept but offer way way less value than Japanese conbinis.

Actually is once again 7-11 here giving no 2 shite about sinkie ah. Theyre part of the dairy farm grp, meaning their import price should be same as giant and CS one. So why sell some of the stuff at such high price?

But honestly the $1 deals still ok la, these days 500ml drink for $1 I will buy.

Those saying no market, you see Thailand, TW, JP whole street can have 2-3 outlet, how can it be no market.

Over the years, the prices for food and drinks at 7-Eleven have skyrocketed. Unless there’s a promotion, there’s no reason to go to an air-conditioned convenience store when we can get the same thing cheaper elsewhere.

They’re located in HDB Estate, where there are plenty of other places to get drinks and snacks. It’s tough to make a profit compared to places like Bangkok, Japan, and Taiwan.
