Diary of an Island

Interesting. The Sunday Times today (pL27) reported that the Pasar Gourmet (a Chew Swee Cheng company) Marché franchise ends in Apr 2007. Marché Heeren has already closed and its space will be taken over by Vila'ge, a restaurant that is virtually a duplicate of Marché (and started in 2004 at China Square by ex-Pasar Gourmet staff). Marché Suntec closes in Jan 2007.

At the end of this year (Dec), Marché International itself will open an outlet in VivoCity. Am looking forward to that because the standard at the Marché franchisee outlets droped after the Suntec outlet opened.
