    Puma opens first Puma Kids in Singapore

    Sports lifestyle brand Puma has opened its first standalone Puma Kids store in Southeast Asia at Singapore’s United Square shopping mall.

    The 500sqft store will offer a selection of apparel, footwear and accessories for kids, making the brand’s Junior range available in Singapore for the first time. Puma’s infants and Pre-school product lines are already well received in local Puma stores.

    Puma Southeast Asia marketing manager Eleanor Wang said, “The market for kids’ segment has always been a staple pie in Puma’s retail business in Southeast Asia, especially Singapore… Puma Kids is designed to be a one-stop destination with a newly extended product offering, catering to the lifestyle needs of young parents and families here.”

    The Puma Kids debut closely follows the recent opening of the Puma Select store at The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands.

    Gap, Banana Republic to exit by end of Feb

    Clothing brands Banana Republic and Gap are about to quit Singapore, FJ Benjamin has announced.

    Both outlets have announced their impending departure on their respective Facebook pages.

    FJ Benjamin, which brought both American brands to Singapore, says it will be closing the final two Banana Republic and three Gap stores in Singapore by the end of this month. The company has decided not to renew the franchise, which expires on February 28.

    When the fashion retailer announced the brands’ arrival in Singapore in 2006, it said it planned to open 30 stores – including outlets in Malaysia – by 2010.

    Gap’s stores are at Suntec City, United Square and VivoCity, while the Banana Republic stores are at Paragon and the Shoppes mall at Marina Bay Sands.
