Popular Bookstore closing Jurong Point and VivoCity outlets, reopening in Hougang Mall
Moving-out sales will be held at VivoCity until Aug 16, and at Jurong Point from Aug 14 to Sept 13.
Popular Bookstore plans to close two outlets in August and September, while reopening a new store in Hougang Mall. The VivoCity branch, established in 2018, will cease operations after August 16, with a moving-out sale held until then. The Jurong Point branch, which has been operating since 1995, will close on September 13, with a moving-out sale from August 14 onwards.
A new Popular store is set to open at Hougang Mall on September 4, following the completion of the mall's renovation in September. Popular reassures customers that it has no further store closures in mind. Shoppers can continue shopping at nearby outlets, with VivoCity customers visiting Tiong Bahru Plaza and Jurong Point customers heading to Westgate, West Mall, or The Clementi Mall.
The bookstore chain will have a total of 26 stores across Singapore after reopening. Popular remains committed to serving local communities, identifying new strategic locations, and hosting roadshows at shopping centers to remain accessible to consumers. The home-grown bookstore began in 1924, evolving into a one-stop shop offering books, stationery, gadgets, and more.
