Eastpoint (Chinese: 东福坊) is a small shopping mall located in Simei, Singapore. It is known for its wide selection of educational and enrichment centres and its pet shop (The Pet Safari), which was once the largest in Asia. The mall is owned by NTUC Income, and is managed by Frasers Centrepoint Malls. ==History== Eastpoint Mall was developed by Far East Organisation and was completed in December 1996. Like other suburban malls at that time, it featured a cinema, supermarket, department store, food court, an arcade and a book store as anchors. It also had an array of speciality shops and restaurants. The mall pioneered several firsts, such as a rooftop children's pool and a wet market on the ground level of the mall, although both were subsequently closed. In 1998, the property was sold to NTUC Income Insurance Co-operative Pte Ltd. The mall's popularity begin to decline in the early 2000s, as patronage declined due to competition from the larger malls at Tampines and the city. As a result, the Golden Village cinema was closed and replaced by several education centres. Additionally, several anchor tenants withdrew or moved into smaller premises. Minor renovation works were also carried out as well. The mall did not undergo any major renovations until early 2013, when it was revamped with a totally new look, a new exterior facade and an increase in retail space. Several anchor tenants were relocated to different levels, such as NTUC Fairprice taking up the entirety of Level 5, and Challenger and Daiso reallocated to Basement 1. The food court was reallocated to Level 4, operated by Food Junction. Level 6 was allocated to education centres, a child care centre and a nautical themed play deck. The mall reopened in December 2014. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「East Point Mall」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
