“The direction and future for e-commerce and changes in consumption patterns are obvious and unpreventable,” said Grace Kong, Aladdin Street Singapore Co-founder & President, in a press statement.
“Increasing rents and manpower shortages have caused retail shakeups and are preventing promising small businesses from setting up shop. Aladdin Street Singapore will be the next best alternative where merchants are also partners, and we will work closely with them to develop their businesses for a win-win-win partnership,” she added.
