SINGAPORE, 31 August 2017 – NTUC FairPrice (FairPrice) celebrates the 10th anniversary of FairPrice Finest. FairPrice Finest was set-up to provide consumers with a wide range of cosmopolitan and healthy products along with daily essentials that are affordably priced. Products sold at Finest are also uniformly priced across the entire stable of FairPrice’s supermarket retail formats and locations island-wide.
Mr Seah Kian Peng, CEO, NTUC FairPrice, said: “NTUC FairPrice is committed to making lives better for our customers and this is reflected through FairPrice Finest. This retail format brings the finer life closer to customers by offering a wider range of cosmopolitan products including specialty and healthy foods. At the same time, we continue to moderate the costs of essentials across all our different FairPrice formats. We appreciate the support of our customers as we continue to grow and serve Singaporeans with their daily grocery needs.”
FairPrice Finest has since expanded its network to include 22 stores located across Singapore and will focus on increasing its range of healthy foods.
