Cold Storage is probably a very familiar name to Singaporeans.

It is also the oldest supermarket chain in Singapore.

Hence, as part of its 120th anniversary, Cold Storage is refreshing its brand with a new logo and a revamp of its stores, to provide consumers with a new shopping experience primarily focused on sustainability, along with quality and affordable prices.

Shoppers can expect the revamped stores to have features such as reusable shopping bags and fixtures clad in bamboo, along with 100 per cent recycled glass for counters and tabletops.

What are the features of these upcoming refreshed stores?

If you are curious as to how these refreshed stores might look, the first of these has opened at Compass One on Feb. 24.

Aside from Cold Storage’s familiar fresh produce, the store features numerous unique concepts such as a pick-your-own Yong Tau Foo station, with over 50 ingredients to choose from, such as fish ball, fish cake, crab sticks and tofu, among others.

In addition, you can choose from yellow to white noodles to complete your ingredients.

There is also a fresh seafood and local fish counter with a seafood specialist who provides free prep services for fishes, such as descaling, deboning and filleting.

This means you can save on prep time at home, and start cooking right away, especially if you are cooking in bulk.

Customers can expect a selection of seafood such as pomfret, salmon, tiger prawns and more, which are delivered daily to the store, and guaranteed of their freshness.
