Opened new outlet at Toa Payoh after struggling with $16K rent at Century Square
Her now-defunct Century Square outlet closed last month. “Rent was too expensive,” says the now Singaporean PR, who paid about $17,000 a month.
“We were making losses, that’s why we closed the outlet,” says Laurel, who helps out at her mother’s stores, though she declined to specify the amount incurred.
To offset the closure, Nelly opened a new outlet at a Toa Payoh HDB void deck on 1 April 2026. Compared to the mall store, the new space has a more charming old-school feel.
