Singer shutters Constant Spring, King Street stores

Singer Jamaica will turn down the volume on its retail footprint, closing two stores this month as it fine-tunes its operations.
The affected outlets are located at 21 Constant Spring Road in Kingston 10, known as the Mega Store, and at 18-20 King Street in downtown Kingston. It will result in reducing its islandwide store count from 20 to 18, a notice from the furniture and appliance retailer indicated. The company wants to streamline operations and concentrate resources on its remaining branches.
“We are committed to continuing to serve our customers through our 18 branches islandwide,” the company said in the notice.
According to a public notice, the King Street store will cease operations today, while the Constant Spring Road Mega Store will follow on June 30.
The Gleaner was unable to contact management up to press time.
Singer Jamaica, a household name in home retailing, competes primarily with Courts Jamaica. Both companies operate extensive retail networks and offer hire-purchase agreements, although neither discloses financial performance to the public.
The company assured customers, particularly in Kingston, that alternative locations exist.
“Our staff at the Village and Cross Roads stores remain dedicated and ready to provide all our customers from Mega and King Street stores with the best products and services,” the notice stated.
Customers with hire-purchase accounts can continue making payments at any store islandwide, including through banking partners, the company stated.
The move underscores Singer’s ongoing efforts to optimise operations in a competitive retail landscape increasingly influenced by digital transformation and shifting consumer habits.
