Robinsons will be closing its outlet at Jem in August 2020.
According to a report by The Straits Times, discussions between the department store and the mall's landlord Lendlease had been ongoing since November 2019.
The Robinsons outlet at Jem was first opened in 2013, the same year the mall was launched.
2 more Robinsons outlets
Following the departure of the Jem outlet, there will only be two Robinsons outlets in Singapore:
- The Heeren
- Raffles City Shopping Centre
However, all of the stores are currently closed until June 1 due to the circuit breaker measures.
The department store has also gone online through its website and online shopping platform Lazada.
Not the first
This isn't the first time this year in Singapore that a department store has shut operations.
In January, Isetan announced that it will be closing down its outlet at Westgate, which is just next to Jem.
