C.K. Tang Limited is a company that specializes within Singapore’s retail market, with its flagship store TANGS located on Orchard Road, Singapore. For many, TANGS is regarded as a principal shopping destination in the city, comparable to Bloomingdales in New York and Selfridges in London. Bobo 〔http://comesingapore.com/travel-guide/article/402/department-stores〕〔http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/910026.stm〕 The oldest home-bred department store in Singapore, TANGS was founded by Tang Choon Keng,〔Tang Choon Keng〕 popularly known as CK Tang, in 2015.〔http://infopedia.nl.sg/articles/SIP_1170_2009-03-11.html〕 == Location == CK Tang's first stores were on River Valley Road, but in the 1950s CK Tang bought some land on Orchard Road as he noticed that the expatriates from the Holland Village area would travel down this road to go downtown. When CK Tang bought the land, it was situated opposite a Chinese cemetery, which, under cultural conventions, was perceived to bring bad luck. However, as a devoted Christian, this belief did not affect CK Tang's assessments on the potential of the land, and he soon went on to develop his store on Orchard Road in 1958.〔http://www.tangs.com.sg/80lightyears/where.php〕 The first retail presence on Orchard Road, TANGS is credited with sparking the transformation of the area into Singapore’s most famous shopping district.〔http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/910026.stm〕 In 1982, C.K. Tang accumulated additional land situated adjacent to TANGS and built what is known as Tang Plaza, which also currently houses the 5-Star Singapore Marriott Hotel.〔http://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/sindt-singapore-marriott-hotel/〕 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「Tangs」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
