Challenger Seeks Growth with Two New Retail Concepts
‘Game On!’ and ‘Go Android!’ brings shoppers the ultimate
experience per square feet
Singapore, 17 April 2015 – In response to the emerging demand for products in the Android and Gaming categories, local tech retail giant Challenger revitalized more than 4,000 square feet of its cookie-cutter retail space at its flagship megastore in Funan to introduce two new experiential concepts – ‘Go Android!’ and ‘Game On!’
“To encourage retail growth, we need to raise the bar in the retail industry and Challenger believes in the importance of updating retail experience to suit the needs and demands of shoppers. More importantly, the two retail concepts are formulated because of our desire to provide shoppers with a seamless one-stop destination where they can explore and learn about the products before a purchase,” said Ms Loo Pei Fen, Head of Marketing for Challenger Technologies.
