Reading Time: 2 minutes

Singapore-based mall CQ @ Clarke Quay, owned by CapitaLand, is undergoing revitalization with the introduction of eight new brands, which will join the establishment alongside additional activity spaces and updated programming.

Among the new additions are two food and beverage concepts. Waffle Up!, a waffle-on-a-stick brand, and Xiao Long Kan, a Sichuan hot pot chain, will bring their respective brands to Singapore for the first time. Waffle Up! will introduce its unique take on the popular breakfast dish, while Xiao Long Kan will offer visitors a Chengdu-style dining experience.

Expanded Retail and Lifestyle Offerings

CQ @ Clarke Quay will also see an expansion in its retail and lifestyle offerings. Eco-apparel brand Esse is launching River’s Edge Abode, a pet-friendly, multi-concept fashion store that supports artisanal craftsmanship. Swapaholic, a local platform for circular fashion, is also introducing a concept for swapping and reselling pre-loved clothing. Additionally, Rhythm Room will open a hybrid dance studio, which will also serve as a social venue.

The mall will welcome Anytime Fitness, a 24-hour fitness center that will also host outdoor classes. This new fitness hub will stand alongside Revl’s strength and conditioning studio. Elixir Esports is also set to debut its largest 24-hour outlet at CQ this year, complete with gaming facilities, food and drink options, and esports tournaments. Lastly, a dedicated space for pets, called Furry Playzone, will be added to the mix.

New Entertainment Options

Zouk, the iconic anchor of CQ @ Clarke Quay’s nightlife, is expected to launch a new day-to-night lifestyle and entertainment concept.

These changes follow the forthcoming closure of American restaurant chain Hooters’ sole Clarke Quay outlet, which concludes nearly three decades of operation at the location.

Presently, the riverfront complex hosts approximately 70 tenants across various sectors including food and beverage, retail, fitness, and entertainment. The ongoing changes reflect the mall’s commitment to adapt to changing consumer trends and the evolving Singapore lifestyle landscape.
