Metro mulls fate of remaining two stores here
Singapore
AS Robinsons bows out of the retail scene and department stores face waning prospects, the end of the last two Metro stores in Singapore may be nigh.
Metro Holdings group chief executive Yip Hoong Mun said with a few years left on the leases at Paragon and Causeway Point, Metro would focus on cost discipline and building up its e-commerce capabilities. This is necessary to run the two stores "as profitably as possible".
