According to Mr. Sim and three other companies that this writer spoke with differently, Ah Chew Desserts’ passage has been beneficial. With the entry of the fast-food behemoth McDonald’s two weeks ago, sales at the mall appears to have received another boost.

On May 30, around midday, CNA went to Cineleisure. The nearly 100-seat fast food restaurant was crowded with a steady supply of customers. This contrasted with the peaceful scene CNA saw in the center on May 3 during lunchtime.

However, for the time being, most of this increased sales is concentrated on the ground degree, with companies on higher floors still experiencing a raise.

Mr. Trazo, who has spent ten years working at Cineleisure, recalls the mall’s era as a bustling hub with shoppers, primarily young people, loitering until late at night.

” Those were the best times of my life. He recalled that the surroundings was generally wonderful with all the people.

Due to the store’s proximity to nearby company operators and cellular phone retailers, business was booming at the time.

Since then, profits have decreased by half. Additionally, Beadstreet, Cineleisure’s longest-running client at the moment, has announced its closing time due to the lack of audiences.

” Next day, on weekends, we closed at 11 p.m. or 12 am. However, we now close at 9 p.m. every morning, Mr. Trazo said.
