From Emporium to indoor pickleball court: Upper Serangoon Shopping Centre through the years
From Emporium to indoor pickleball court: Upper Serangoon Shopping Centre through the years
In the 1980s, Upper Serangoon Shopping Centre was the first air-conditioned mall in the area. “Before Nex, this was the hip place to hang out,” said a former regular.
A Google search throws up results that include “Singapore’s worst mall” as well as articles about a recent knife attack, and a second attempt at a collective sale.
Today, many units are shuttered, but old-timers like Mr Cubbert Dooa remain. He’s been running a computer repair shop at the mall for the last 29 years.
New tenants - such as the operators of a pickleball court, an old-school barber and a vocal studio, are bringing life back to the mall.
