Robinsons Closing Down: Empty Shelves & No Clearance Prices

Department store Robinsons caught many shoppers by surprise when it unexpectedly announced on Oct 30 that it was going out of business. The news came after it shuttered its three-storey outlet at Jem in August this year. Robinsons' remaining two outlets at The Heeren and Raffles City Shopping Centre will be closed to facilitate the liquidation process, though the exact closure date has not been specified.

According to a customer FAQ sheet issued by Robinsons' appointed liquidator KordaMentha, it is currently working with various stakeholders like key suppliers and landlords "to hopefully agree a sale timeline", and that "we are hopeful of execute [sic] a sale campaign through to approximately mid to end December 2020".
