SINGAPORE – After exiting Singapore in January, 163-year-old retailer Robinsons will make a comeback as an online department store.
In a statement on Thursday (June 10), the iconic mall announced that it was acquired by wholesale supplier Canningvale Australia this month.
The newly independent Robinsons Department Stores Online has already hired two former Robinsons’ employees and will employ Singaporeans to “fill various positions across the business”, it added.
The website will go live on June 24.
With its head office based in Singapore, the business will be led by Mr Jordan Prainito, the former managing director of Canningvale Australia.
