Orchard Road remains the top destination for shoppers during the recent Great Singapore Sale, according to a new report, debunking calls that Singapore’s prime shopping belt may be losing its shine.
The premier retail strip attracted the highest footfall during the city-state’s annual shopping promotion, held from May 29 to June 28 this year, a new report by location intelligence company AdNear said. The study analysed the foot traffic data from 192,000 respondents in six retail locations, including Bugis Junction, Marina Square, Novena Square, Orchard Road, Raffles City and Suntec City, for the month of June.
"The busy shopping district [of Orchard Road] had almost 2.5 times more foot traffic, definitely in line with the fact that it has an array of malls [compared to] Suntec City, Raffles City and Bugis Junction," the AdNear report said.
