Bugis st is not what every retailers consider a good location . Although the crowd is there but mostly student with no spending power. Most of the consumer there expect only $10 for all items, even tourist there also expect super cheap deal. I think the place is flooded with bangkok stk and china retailer .
China retailer sells very very cheaply & thus spoilt the selling value . They don`t have a concept but spies & bring in the same items same as the neighbour.

Can hardly earn profit even though the rental is only $3K to $4k/mnth.

Agree totally with Catherine.
The strategy there is simply to import cheaply
then sell at rock-bottom prices...
You need to turnover the stuff very quickly...
Not a good place to start something unique...
But then again, for some, it works!

I agreed. Actually as a teenager myself, I do shop at bugis with friends.
We usually go there for cheap stuffs and of course, many of us have the concept that we can BARGAIN at bugis street! Indeed we can. Especially for some china goods. So if your goods can be really below $15-$10. Many teenagers will like to buy. Hope this helps.

Well, i don't think so myself.
i've open my lingerie shop about 2months ago...
at 1st...it's slow...but it's getting better after 2weeks later...
my product price ranging from S$40+ up....

the place is going to have a major make over...
where the whole place will be aircondition & there will be a link bridge connecting to bugis junction & iluma.

However, i must say that the rental had gone up very high...

i'm paying S$6000+ for a 100sqft shop..
