In response to queries from CNA Lifestyle, a spokesperson from Books Kinokuniya clarified that the two suggested potential outlets were “actually suggestions put forth by customers” in April.
“At this moment, these projects are not in the works, but responses from our customers do contribute to our strategic planning,” said the spokesperson.
When asked about its decision to open an outlet in Raffles City, Books Kinokuniya said that the mall was a “natural choice” due to its central location and strong foot traffic.
‘We saw it as an ideal space to introduce a refreshed retail concept and engage with a broader community of readers and customers. With the move to rebrand our sister company, NBC’s Raffles City outlet to Books Kinokuniya, we aim to continue serving stationery lovers and book lovers at the new outlet.”
Books Kinokuniya is located at 252 North Bridge Road, #03-22/23, Raffles City Shopping Centre, Singapore 179103.
