Summary

[edit]
Description
English: "

Built at a cost of $450,000, Tah Chung Emporium was opened on 9 September 1967. It occupied the second floor of the three-storey Queenstown shopping complex in the town centre.

The shopping complex dubbed as the “crown jewel’ of Queenstown town centre was constructed by the Housing and Development Board (HDB) to provide recreation options to Queenstown residents. The first level of the shopping complex comprised of a coffee shop and several bank branches while the third level is dedicated to the Golden Crown Restaurant and nightclubs.

The myriad of goods ranging from food to fashion, of which most are imported from China (really was China already open?) were sold at affordable prices in the air-conditioned departmental store

Tan Aik Leng, a long-time resident, recalled, “The Tah Chung Emporium was the first air -conditioned emporium in a housing estate. The emporium sold many kinds of merchandise which had never seen before. Hence, my father would bring my family to the emporium once in a while to walk around.”

Tah Chung Emporium eventually closed down in the late 1990s.
