Is Bugis Street now really a ghost town? News reports

Is Bugis Street now really a ghost town? News reports state that around 80% of shops on Bugis Street’s Level 2 have closed following lease expiries, with plans for a new youth-focused retail concept in the works. However, a visit to the area shows a more nuanced picture — while many units at the back remain shuttered, the front section still sees decent footfall and operating stores, with some offering clearance sales. Shop owners have expressed concerns over recent reports, which may have impacted business, as they continue adapting to rising rents and changing retail conditions. #8dayssg #8dayssgtrending #sgtiktok #bugisstreet #singapore
