The Gym, Asia's first 24-hour co-working concept space dedicated to e-sports has opened its doors in Jalan Besar. 

There was a lack of professional spaces for the e-sports community to grow, and they wanted to change that. With The Gym, they aim to redefine and empower the e-sports ecosystem and community in Asia.

​Set up by regional events management firm NEO.TM, The Gym will not only function as a centre of excellence for promising e-sports teams, but also foster collaboration between local and international teams, enabling them to share resources and level up their game together.

The Gym has entered a partnership with United States-based e-sports broadcasting pioneer, De Tune. The firm has worked with the likes of Riot Games, and organised global Fortnite and PUBG global championships. De Tune will consult closely with The Gym to bring e-sports events and competitions in Asia to life.

Located in the heart of Singapore, The Gym is Asia’s first 24-hour e-sports co-workspace that welcomes individuals, businesses and brands from the e-sports community to drive their visions forward.

Unboxed by Singtel is an unmanned 24/7 store designed to introduce customers to a new retail experience featuring the convenience of digital technology in a friendly store environment.

In a first for Singapore, customers can consult with a roving live bot, which is powered by facial recognition technology, to receive personalised recommendations; try out phones; conveniently sign up for mobile plans at video-assisted self-serve kiosks; and immediately collect their purchased devices from the in-store POPStation. Additionally, customers can browse and buy popular accessories such as headphones, phone cases, power banks and contract-free handsets. They can also make bill payments, top up prepaid cards and Dash wallets, and get instant SIM card replacements.

“The future of retail is here and now. Our digital transformation integrates online and offline customer touchpoints to deliver fresh and fuss-free buying experiences to consumers. UNBOXED fulfils the needs of today’s consumer and provides a peek into the next-generation of retail – fast, instant, convenient and experiential,” said Mr Yuen Kuan Moon, CEO of Consumer Singapore at Singtel.

Currently based in the CBD at 20 Pickering Street, the store is modular and movable. Measuring 45 sq m when fully extended, it can be easily transported and reconfigured to fit different spaces. The store will move to a new location every few months to serve customers at high-traffic areas such as transport hubs and school campuses.

Co-created by Singtel staff, NCS and SingPost, security for the store is provided by NCS which developed a round-the-clock security platform called Sentinel while the POPStation lockers are prefilled with devices and replenished daily using SingPost’s Last Mile Platform (“LaMP”).

Unboxed by Singtel builds on the success of the digital transformation of Singtel’s flagship Comcentre store. It offers one of the most intelligent retail experiences in Asia, featuring an intelligent WiFi queuing system, integrated online and in-store shopping carts, and instant purchases via automated checkout. The store consistently receives an average of 99% positive customer experience scores and has won multiple accolades for its innovative approach to retail.

Famed Japanese discount store Don Quijote has opened its first store in Singapore at Orchard Central.

The double-storey 1,397 sq m discount store is operating with its name as Don Don Donki instead of Don Quijote because a Don Quijote restaurant already exists here in Dempsey Road. The 24-hour store has the same range and eclectic mix of products as its outlets in Japan.

Founded in 1978 by Takao Yasuda, the brand now has over 368 stores in Japan, Hawaii and the United States. 

The second Singapore outlet is set to open middle of June 2018 and will be located in Tanjong Pagar.

One of the levels of the flagship store is dedicated to food. You can also find the Don Don Donki bar, the first outside of Japan.

The Japanese themed bar with an array of drinks like sake, beer and whiskey operates from 4pm to 2am from Sunday to Thursday and from 4pm to 3am on Friday and Saturday. 

The cheapest product at Singapore's Don Don Donki is the Calbee Jagatico Salad which is going for S$0.50, while the most expensive is the 35-year-old Hibiki Suntory Whisky at S$80,000.
