Staff Cecil Lee Posted January 14, 2019 Staff Share Posted January 14, 2019 Sign says Closed until further notice... What do you think this means? Hmmm It has been around Katong for at least 50 + years or more! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Cecil Lee Posted October 1, 2019 Author Staff Share Posted October 1, 2019 Passed by many times. Permanently closed. Most likely high labour costs + one must really have a sweet tooth to want to regularly patronise a confectionary. Plus, this confectionery shop is at the upstream of East Coast Road, many failed businesses along this stretch... In addition, many of the patrons at The Holy Family Church no longer goes there. Sweet tooth and all that. Another is the hundreds of Malls with the manny Starbucks typed shops and various competitors like Ya Kun, killed this business Long ago. I recalled when I was in Secondary school, one of my school mates parent(s) either one or work there. Internet search also says so. Yesterday, 1 October 2019, received a call from a lady: “Are you the agent for Chin Mei Chin Frankly, just because search engines flag contents from Geomancy.net; it does not mean that I am an a real estate agent, please.

Staff Cecil Lee Posted October 4, 2019 Author Staff Share Posted October 4, 2019 Sometimes difficult to stay afloat even for a doctor's clinic. Ever since Dr Tan’s clinic moved out... another doctor took over. But closed shop less than 6 months of tenancy... Left: former clinic, right former furniture shop: The only survivor is the Long term Katong Catholic Book Centre (KCBC). As it is a few doors away from the Holy Family Church at Katong. Even an antique furniture store to the right of the KCBC also vacated... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
