SINGAPORE: If you've not stocked up on groceries to
tide you through the Lunar New Year holidays, don't fret just
yet.
Some supermarkets said they will stay open, at least
till the first day of the Lunar New Year.
NTUC FairPrice said 12 of its stores will remain
open for business throughout the Lunar New Year period.
These include those at Fernvale Point, Telok Blangah Street 32 and
Bishan Street 24.
Its store at Changi Airport Terminal 3 will be open till
11pm.
The 12 stores are a big jump from the three that were open last
year.
NTUC FairPrice said it received positive feedback when they opened
the three stores last year.
Hence, 88 more stores will be open until 5pm on the second day of
the Lunar New Year.
Cold Storage said three of its stores will remain open from the eve
to the first day of Lunar New Year while Prime Supermarket stores
in Jurong West and Punggol will also be open.
A consumer said: "I think it's fantastic for us who are
ill-prepared. Those of us who are prepared will find it an added
bonus."
