SingPost Centre to have Gong Cha flagship
In this article (5)
Never mind bubble wrap, the new SingPost Centre in Paya Lebar is about to have the flagship store for bubble-tea chain Gong Cha as it returns to Singapore.
Under construction, the store will open in December.
In May, the brand announced it was leaving Singapore and that its outlets would be replaced by new local chain LiHo. However, Royal Tea Taiwan, the company behind Gong Cha, revealed a couple of months later that the chain would return under a new master franchisee. Former Mr Bean co-founder/MD Kang Puay Seng is leading the return of the brand.
The new SingPost Centre mall will officially launch next Thursday.
