Crate & Barrel Singapore will close its flagship store at Orchard Gateway.

The Straits Times reported yesterday that the 25,000sqft five-storey outlet has operated at the location for five years, but will close on November 10. That will leave the US home furnishing brand with just one store, at Ion Orchard, however the brand’s e-commerce platform will continue to trade.

A statement released by Crate & Barrel Singapore revealed intentions to expand into Malaysia, adding that this “will help increase our brand visibility and representation in today’s retail marketplace, specifically in the Southeast Asia region”.
