FairPrice Group (FPG) announced today the opening of its first integrated food retail experience at Changi Airport Terminal 3. The 30,000 square-foot space features a revamped Kopitiam and FairPrice Finest that pays homage to Singapore’s rich cultural and food heritage.
At the heart of this integrated concept is the perfect union of Kopitiam’s hawker favourites (Food Court and Kiosks) and FairPrice Finest’s curated grocery offerings, a dual-concept unique to the FairPrice Group. Within the same space, customers can enjoy a diverse selection of local favourites and discover new tastes while fuelling their shopping quest for unique Singaporean merchandise and essential groceries.
The rejuvenated space channels the spirit of Singapore’s colonial past (spot the distinctive black-and-white tile motifs and the use of white, panelled columns), offering a nostalgic retreat where the elegance of old-world charm meets modern culinary delights.
Two tranquil water fountain ponds take centre stage, reminiscent of the peaceful courtyards where travellers once sipped afternoon tea and dined under the tropical sky. Surrounded by alfresco-like seating, the space invites guests to relax and savour iconic hawker fare, much like the social communal gatherings in days gone by. This bright and thoughtful design also underscores a commitment to creating an inviting environment where anyone – from international visitors to locals – can savour the best of Singaporean hospitality – a first in the Singapore food retail scene.
“We’re thrilled to welcome travellers and locals alike to this tranquil oasis, where everyone can savour the flavours of Singapore, get groceries and shop for unique local souvenirs whilst experiencing a touch of our colonial heritage within the same space.” said Henry Chu, CEO of Food Services at FairPrice Group. “Through the opening of this outlet, we want to encourage travellers to experience what Singapore has to offer, bring families together to spend quality time with each other, and ultimately, make every day a little better for those we serve.”
A Kopitiam for the World
Experience a world of flavours at your fingertips. With 29 stalls offering a diverse range of local and international cuisines, this vibrant space is the ultimate destination for food lovers.
