Breaking news: South Korean convenience store chain Emart24 closes all 3 outlets in Singapore. Find out why!

South Korean convenience store chain Emart24 has left Singaporeans in shock as it abruptly closed all three outlets in the city. The closure announcement first came from the Singapore Atrium Sale, revealing the boarded-up Nex shopping mall outlet of Emart24. The once-bustling store that opened to much fanfare in 2022 now stands deserted, leaving customers surprised and disappointed.

When reporters from Mothership visited the Nex outlet on the morning of March 20, they found the store surrounded by hoarding, indicating a sudden and unexpected closure. Emart24, known for its unique Korean snacks and convenience items, gained popularity among locals who enjoyed the variety of products it offered.

The closure of Emart24's outlets across Singapore marks the end of an era for the South Korean convenience chain in the city-state. With the first outlet opening just months ago to a warm reception, its sudden departure has left a void in the hearts of Singaporeans who frequented the stores.

As Singaporeans bid farewell to Emart24, memories of bustling aisles and unique Korean treats linger. The closure serves as a reminder of the transient nature of businesses in the fast-paced city. Emart24's short-lived presence has left a lasting impact on the local convenience store scene, sparking conversations about the ebb and flow of retail trends in Singapore.
