As a well-known retailer of electronics and housewares, Courts Singapore is hoping to take its business to the next level with a newly opened Courts Megastore in Tampines.
Courts Singapore is now offering hardware supplies as part of a new partnership with American brand ACE Hardware. The megastore spans 8,000 square feet and carries more than 15,000 brand products that include tools for quick home fixes, as well as full-on DIY projects that will satisfy a consumer's need for cost, quality and selection. By collaborating with this established American retailer, Courts Singapore is positioning itself as an all-in-one location for practical home products and repair goods.
Since many people living in Singapore don't have garages, balconies or gardens, the choice to work with ACE Hardware was based on the belief that consumers will be embracing small DIY projects within the home. Prices at the new Ace Home Improvement Solutions are competitive against the local market.
