The selection is not as extensive as the typical Japanese convenience store, though.

Singapore's version is the Swedish food market, which sells overlapping items.

With Harajuku

The entire IKEA outlet is part of a new shopping complex called With Harajuku, which has a total of 12 levels.

The complex houses restaurants, shops, co-working space, an event hall, and even residential apartments, Timeout reported.

Other major tenants in the building include Uniqlo and The Alley.
