After what seems like a lifetime of waiting, Decathlon will finally be opening its doors at Centrepoint on 12 September.
In 2019, it was reported that Decathlon will be replacing anchor tenant Metro at The Centrepoint.
This marks this particular Decathlon outlet as the first in Orchard Road and fifth overall in terms of physical stores.
More Decathlon For Everyone
Here’s a sneak peek of how the interior looks like:
Tasteful colours, and a lot of open, wide space.
Made even more spacious by the clean, white look.
But in case you think Decathlon’s merely flexing, they have a reason for making it so big and spacious.
Expected To Be Super High-Tech
Previously, a spokesperson for the brand said that customers can expect an “immersive and activity-based concept” from the new store.
If that’s not enough to heighten your excitement, you’ll also be able to test out the products using virtual simulations and augmented reality (AR) components.
Regular yoga and Zumba sessions will also be held in the store, although I wouldn’t hold your breath if I were you.
Covid-19 is a real thing and right now, the authorities have only started to allow large outdoor exercise groups.
Still, their other stuff actually sounds pretty lit too.
If you’re planning on heading to The Centrepoint for the opening, remember to still practice social distancing, or even better, not head there so fast.
Because as we all know, whenever something new pops up in Singapore, there’ll be hordes of people fighting to be the first to enter.
But at least, we now know that soon, this iconic almost-dead shopping mall in Orchard is going to get its second heyday.
Especially given how Decathlon is the IKEA of the sporting world.

Their items are affordable and comfortable, and they sell everything you would need to work out and more.
The French company previously pointed out that the reason why they’re able to make their products so cheap is that they don’t do celebrity endorsements.
When a company gets a celebrity to endorse their products, it just means that — get this — we pay for it. The cost that we pay for the products already cover the cost of the endorsements.
They’re also very conscious about costs and geared their product research & development towards feedback given by customers.
This means that they can give customers exactly what they want with no frills.
Here’s a simple analogy:
So if you want a basketball shoe with comfortable springs, neon effect lights and has Michael Jackson singing Beat that, Beat that~, you can go for other brands.
But if you want a basketball shoe that lets you jump and land comfortably while protecting your ankle, Decathlon has an affordable option for you.
