Watsons unveils newly revamped flagship

Health and beauty retailer Watsons’ newly revamped flagship store at Takashimaya Shopping Centre is now fully open, following an extensive renovation which took more than three months.

The redesigned store spans over 6,600 sq ft – the largest in Singapore – and features a layout inspired by mindfulness and self-discovery, with eight different zones such as Health & Wellbeing, Skincare, Haircare and Makeup.

The highlight of the reopening is the first GNC store-within-store concept in Singapore, marking the return of the American company’s health and nutrition products.

Another highlight is the Makeup Zone, where shoppers can find My Colour Studio. Here, professional make-up artists help customers identify their ideal foundation shades and make-up combinations through personalised colour tests.

There is also the Go Sustainable section, featuring eco-friendly brands, and initiatives like Sustainable Choice Green Price Tags and digital receipts to reduce paper waste. A newly launched Makeup Upcycling Programme, in collaboration with local non-profit agency Babes Pregnancy Crisis Support, empowers shoppers to donate unused or lightly used make-up for charity.

For added convenience, the store now features a Walk-In Order Service, allowing customers to easily order items for in-store collection.

To celebrate the grand reopening, Watsons is offering a range of exclusive promotions (including a shot at its Sure-Win Gachapon for every $88 spent) with discounts up to 50 per cent off. Watsons Elite Members enjoy exclusive rewards and priority queues.
