SINGAPORE – British fashion brands Topshop and Topman will close their last outlet here next Thursday (Sept 17) and instead go online, with retail experts saying that more brands might follow suit.
On Friday (Sept 11), Topshop’s and Topman’s brand manager here Wing Tai Retail confirmed the closure of the VivoCity outlet, and said that its focus for the two brands will be online.
Topshop and Topman have been in Singapore for two decades, with the first store at Wisma Atria in Orchard Road in 2000.
A Wing Tai Retail spokesman said that the lease of the brands’ shop at VivoCity has ended, and that Wing Tai will be focusing on its omnichannel retail strategy – which involves both physical and online sales channels – to better meet changing consumer preferences.
Besides Topshop and Topman, Wing Tai Retail also manages brands like Adidas, G2000, Dorothy Perkins and Uniqlo in Singapore.
