Japanese bookstore chain Book Kinokuniya will open its new bookstore ahead of schedule on Jul. 18 at Raffles City Shopping Centre.
This comes after Kinokuniya Singapore announced that its NBC Stationery and Gifts store in Raffles City will close and be rebranded as Books Kinokuniya in August 2025.
The new store will take over the unit previously occupied by Challenger.
It will be located on the third floor of Raffles City Shopping Centre and spans 3,433 square feet, housing a curated selection of popular genres.

It will also feature stationery merchandise exclusive to the store, like cat-themed products from Matsuo Miyuki and Pickle the Frog items.
If you are looking for magazines and books in Chinese or Japanese, those are available at its other outlets in Ngee Ann City and Bugis Junction.
The new store will also feature events, including mascot appearances by Smiski and Moomin.
