We love everyone that we met during our short stay at the Grandstand Mall and we will miss you ๐. This was an incredibly difficult decision. We have a lot of warm sentiments for this location, having spent the better part of the last 18 months stocking shelves, making coffees and getting to know all our regulars. But truth be told, the traffic through the mall has been decreasing steadily since last year and our business has been slowing down as a result.ย
We have to be practical and move on. In fact, I was holding on so tightly, that it was not until this week, that we decided to commit to the move ๐ช
While we have not confirmed any location yet, we have been spending a lot of time exploring Haji Lane. Itโs a shopping street located in Kampong Glam conservation area (near Bugis MRT) with local retail stores and popular F&B outlets. I really love the vibe here โจ Itโs a fun and dynamic location and most importantly, very accessible, being only 5 minutes brisk walk from Bugis MRT ๐. We have already put in an offer on a small little store, and fingers crossed the owners accept it!๐ค
So here we are at another cross road, after almost 18 months since opening the first physical vegan grocery store in Singapore. Our current lease ends on June 30, but we will likely have to move before then. I am equally scared and excited by this next chapter! ๐ฏ More updates to come.
Love & Lightย ๐
