Johor Bahru remains a hot weekend destination for us Singaporeans, and for good reason – retail prices are so much lower there than here. Dig a little deeper, though, and you’ll find outlet stores where you can get your stuff for even cheaper.
These shops sell their off-season clothes, shoes, and bags at heavily-discounted prices, and with a bunch of these littered around JB, even the most broke amongst us will be able to find new items to spice up our wardrobes with.

You might remember Factory Outlet Store (F.O.S.) existing in Singapore a few years back, with many constantly flocking to their stores in Anchorpoint and IMM for cheap clothes. Items range from wardrobe staples like basic tees, jeans and socks for both kids adults, as well as graphic tees, patterned smart-casual shirts, and slogan tote bags.
Although no longer around on our shores, they still have multiple outlets in JB in major malls such as Johor Bahru City Square, KSL City, and Paradigm Mall – all of which are easily accessible.
