It was reported that in the Food Hall at basement 4 of Ion Orchard, six out of 34 stalls have closed about a month ago. When the stalls first opened, the queue stretched all the way to the neighbouring stall. Up till now, queues are gone, business is bad because the novelty has worn off and customers don't have a place to sit after buying their food.
Stallholders complained that the rent there is high and they are afraid that people might be sick of their food already.
To an extend, it is not surprising that stalls are closing because the rental in Ion Orchard is high as it is more well-off. However, if this goes on, the remaining stalls will not last very long. Probably they should decrease the price of the food, create new ideas on how to advertise to attract customers. For example, promotion. This can bring in more business, and if the food taste good, customers will definitely come back for more!
