SINGAPORE – Run out of food and drinks on the first day of Chinese New Year? You can head to FairPrice supermarkets as 144 of its 159 supermarkets will remain open on that day – Feb 10.
Forty-two of the outlets will operate round the clock, an increase from the 34 in 2023, the supermarket chain said on Jan 22.
It aims to “provide customers convenient access to groceries, alleviating the need for rushed stockpiling and concerns about limited access to festive supplies”.
On the eve of Chinese New Year on Feb 9, 35 stores will be open round the clock and all other outlets until 5pm.
On Feb 8, 69 branches will be open for 24 hours.
Operating hours for more than 30 outlets will be progressively extended, starting on Jan 26. For instance, branches in Tampines Mall and Downtown East will close at midnight instead of 11pm from Jan 26 to Feb 8.
Regular operating hours will resume on the second day of Chinese New Year on Feb 11.
