<!-- story content : start -->POPULAR retailer Mustafa was fined $10,000 yesterday, after it pleaded guilty to illegally using its six-storey warehouse building in Kallang Pudding Road for retail sales. The fine caps a saga which began last November, when the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) served a writ of summons on Mustafa for converting the first two levels of its warehouse into a department store and a supermarket. These retail spaces have since been shut down.

Curious as to why it is illegal to sell from the warehouse :confused:

Land use issues. If everybody sells from warehouse, the whole warehouse complex will be jammed up by shoppers, like those weekend warehouse sales (for these cases, close one eye lah).

Have you been to the Ikea warehouse in Tampines? It's very spacious

Running businesses from a warehouses is much cheaper than from a mall in Orchard Rd. For Mustaffa which caters to budget shoppers I doubt the customers would care about the frills that a mall offers. :smile:
