Tampines Mall welcomes 21 new brands as it completes $24m revamp

Easties, there are more shopping and dining options to look forward to. 

Tampines Mall is set to complete its $24 million revamp this December, it announced on Tuesday (Nov 10). 

The refresh introduces 21 new brands to the mall, 15 of which are available in the East for the first time. 

Shoppers can expect a wider range of retail, dining and lifestyle options. 

Tampines Mall will also feature the largest cluster of beauty retailers in the East, comprising 14 beauty brands ranging from everyday names to luxury stores. 

These include a mix of existing tenants and new additions, such as Aesop, Bath & Body Works, Judydoll, YSL Beauty and Sephora. 

Visitors can also enjoy a range of personalised beauty services and experiences, such as facial treatments at Elemis, skin analysis at Shiseido, and an electronic facial gua sha experience at L'Occitane. 

Meanwhile, high-end brands such as Chanel and Dior, which had previously operated through store concessions at the mall, will now have their own standalone boutiques. 

New F&B offerings

For foodies, there are several new dining options to check out. 

Among them is casual Italian restaurant Casa Vostra, Guangzhou milk tea brand Charlie's Tea and Ging Sun Ho King of Bun, known for its Shanghainese-style pan-fried pork soup buns — all of which are new to the area. 

Other additions include Im Qalb by Pun Im, a casual Thai-Malay eatery with a Tampines Mall-exclusive menu, Zhejiang cuisine restaurant Longjing and Ruxu, a Guangzhou dessert shop and bakery cafe. 

More shopping 

Visitors to Tampines Mall can also explore an expanded mix of shopping options across various categories. 

For fashion and jewellery lovers, some new names at the mall include Braun Buffel, Meilleur Moment and CC Primo, while sports enthusiasts can look forward to additions such as Asics. 

Decathlon will also be returning to the mall with a new 18,000 sq ft Experience Store offering more than 6,000 sporting essentials across 60 sports. 

Here, there will also be dedicated test zones to try out selected gear, as well as services including bicycle maintenance, racket restringing and re-gripping, and the brand's Buy Back programme. 

Besides the shopping, Tampines Mall's revamp also extends into its public spaces and facilities.

According to the mall, its new design aims to "combine a more premium visual direction with the familiarity of the neighbourhood" to reflect the mall's evolution while remaining rooted in the everyday experiences of its shoppers. 

On the multi-million transformation, Adrian Lai, Tampines Mall's general manager said: "Our focus is on giving shoppers greater choice."

"The refreshed Tampines Mall brings together a broad mix of premium, accessible-luxury and everyday brands, alongside dining, sports and lifestyle offerings and well-loved favourites." 

"We want the mall to continue serving the diverse needs and preferences of the Tampines community while giving shoppers more to discover and enjoy." 

First opened in 1995, Tampines Mall is a popular shopping destination for residents in the area. It currently houses over 160 stores.

Since last year, the shopping centre has seen a string of exits by long-time tenants such as McDonald's, Long John Silver's and Isetan.
