Is the curtain coming down on Royal Sporting House in Singapore after 50 years?
Only six outlets are left in Singapore after the ones at Northpoint and Causeway Point closed in March
[SINGAPORE] Long-established multi-sports retailer Royal Sporting House could be on its way out in Singapore, with storewide discounts of up to 70 per cent and staff indicating that at least four of its six remaining outlets are set to shutter in the coming months.
Once a retail giant with some 30 outlets at its peak, the sports giant is now a shadow of its former self, less than five years after its acquisition by Dubai-based GMG, which also owns Sun and Sand Sports (SSS).
Known for carrying athletic footwear, apparel and gear from brands such as Nike, Adidas and Reebok, the retailer now operates only six stores islandwide at the following malls: Bishan’s Junction 8, Serangoon’s Nex, Orchard’s Tanglin Mall, Jurong’s Jem, Changi City Point and Suntec City.
