More than just IT stuff
Before the doors were opened to the public on Friday (28 June), swarms of people circled Funan, eager to be one of the first to see what is inside the sleek new mall. Over the close to three-year-long renovation, the space got a whole new makeover not just in design, but also in its branding identity. We used to visit Funan to get cheap new electronics and tech gadgets, but now, it's also a place for so much more: retail shopping, working out, feasting on yummy food, enjoying the latest entertainment, and even learning more about plants. On top of all that, Funan is a great showcase of new and rising local brands. Many of the stores and amenities are also enhanced by smart features, making them worth a visit even if you have been to their other outlets.
With so many offerings and crowds to push through, it's good to plan where to visit beforehand. To help you out with that, here is our list of places you should not miss at Funan:
6. Brompton Junction (#01-26)
The acclaimed British folding bike brand Brompton Bicycle has opened their first flagship store at Funan! Try out some of the brand’s most popular concepts such as the interactive bike build facilities, and watch the expert staff at work putting together the pieces at the “workshop” area. To help you find your perfect bike, Brompton Junction even offers live demonstration at Funan’s indoor cycling path that’s right outside the store! If you’re looking for a one-of-a-kind bike, look out for the ‘Lion City’ special edition designed to mark the store opening – it features a unique 2-tone fusion of gold and red Lacquer contrasts and a customizable Merlion ID plate.
