FairPrice Finest’s new outlet in Clarke Quay

You thought Clarke Quay was the go-to for a night out in the bars and clubs. You’re not wrong, but now you’ve got an excuse to visit during the day too. A new FairPrice Finest at Clarke Quay has just opened which means you can now shop for groceries while in the ‘hood.

That’s not all though; the outlet has a super chio warehouse-inspired design as well as a cocktail bar and food hall.

The neighbourhood FairPrice supermarkets that are more commonly found provide daily essentials such as groceries and household items. If you see a FairPrice Finest, it means you’ll find a deli section as well as a larger variety of organic products. 

FairPrice Xtra is the one you want to go to for extra items like electronics and clothes, offered at affordable prices. There are also a few 24-hour FairPrice Xpress outlets which are usually much smaller and offer the basic necessities at any time of the day.

The 14,000sqft outlet isn’t your usual supermarket. Firstly, there is a huge section spotlighting produce grown by local farmers as well as products from other Singapore brands.

Homegrown nuts brand Tong Garden has a cute kiosk set up where you can pick your own nuts and dried fruits. Take your customised mix worth $1 home in a packaging resembling the old newspapers that vendors used in the past to hold such snacks.
