  "account": "In December 2026, Tampines Mall in Singapore will undergo a S$24 million (US$18.7 million) renovation and expansion, adding 21 new brands to its roster. The 31-year-old CapitaLand-managed shopping center, first opened in 1995, will see 15 of these brands making their debut in the eastern part of Singapore. Ten returning brands will refresh their stores, and there will be a notable emphasis on beauty, with a cluster of 14 retailers that CapitaLand claims is the largest in the east.\n\nAmong the new brands are popular names like Sephora and Shiseido, as well as newer additions such as Judydoll and Rituals. Luxury brands like Chanel and Dior are now operating standalone boutiques, replacing previous concessions. The mall will also feature new dining options, including Italian restaurant Casa Vostra, Hong Kong's Ging Sun Ho King of Bun, and Charlie's Tea, a Guangzhou milk tea brand making its Singapore debut.\n\nOther notable additions include IM QALB by Pun Im, a Thai-Malay restaurant with a Tampines Mall-exclusive menu, and Ruxu, a Guangzhou dessert cafe. A larger Decathlon store, returning to the mall with an 18,000 sq ft space, will offer over 6,000 products across 60 sports. Visitors can also try equipment before purchasing, with services such as bicycle maintenance and racket restringing.\n\nThe revamp extends beyond new stores, with upgraded common areas and facilities. The mall's interior design incorporates its familiar Tampines tree motif. Tampines Mall general manager Adrian Lai stated that the changes aim to provide shoppers with more choices while continuing to serve the community. The eight-storey mall, located near Tampines MRT and bus interchanges, currently houses more than 160 stores.",
