Since after CNY, sales have been dropping. Well...not only for us, everyone else also complaining the same thing. Not only in suntec, but also in queensway. And I believe other places too. Getting so boring here. Retail is tough. My mum wants to stop retail totally and do f&b instead. But I am not a gal who give up just like that (one of the lines in one of the songs by Atomic Kittens)
Will be getting out of suntec. Most likely. See how the talk (not me but my dad) with suntec CEO and GM is 1st. Have approached a few other malls to try getting units there. Most shops in My.PlayGround, have also given up. Some of them their contracts are ending already (only 1 year ma), so not much of problem for them. Ours is a 3 years and 2 years contract for our long and circular unit respectively. If we were to shift out, we would have to find people to take over the unit first. Cineleisure not giving us the unit already. Putting us on waiting list instead Bugis Mall (the new one opposite Bugis Junction and beside Bugis Street) haven't gotten back to us. Neither has Jurong Point (we're hoping to get the unit next to 77th Street there). Friendly competition is good for both Elim and myself. Pray hard can get.
Went to far east plaza, bugis junction and bugis street yesterday to look around, check out other shops' prices and display and also what units available are of good location. Left the shop to the staffs. One of my staff is working full time till end of this month only (i.e. this friday). He/She is converting to part-time on sundays (i.e. if we need anyone on sundays). Then it's down to 1 temporary staff here in suntec and another full-timer in queensway. Looks like I would have to be in the shop more often now.
