Tanglin Mall & Great World City

pokerface · 17-02-2009, 01:28 PM

Anyone has pushcart / rented retail space there before?
Can share your experience?
Is the expat crowd good? Do they buy.. or just browse?

Many thanks!

I don't suggest Greatworld. Been working there for 3yrs...

Why? Whats wrong with Great World? If you can last 3 years, doesn't sound too bad.

hi, thanks for your info. btw urs is pushcart or shopfront?

Greatworld City is not a place most shoppers find it accessible. Been working at a pushcart there for 3yrs selling essential oils. You may think perhaps essential oils are something most people won't consider buying but those who sell bags and jewellery there aren't doing any better. Spending power there may be high due to the expat-community and sometimes you get to see a few celebrities highly around that area but GWC is rather 'dead' in general.

I agree with EarthlyScents. I used to stay within walking distance from Great World City and like what EarthlyScents pointed out is that, it is quite inconvenient to visit the mall, especially for those who don't stay around the area. Definitely need to take a bus from the nearest MRT Stations (from Tiong Bahru / Orchard ).

yup tried selling my products in 2006. Had a lot of success at thomsom plaza and kovan so decided to try my luck there. On bad days, we lost money! On good days maybe $50-$100 profit. So not recommended!
