Mustafa Shopping Centre began as a small garment store in Campbell Lane in 1971. Over the years, it expanded rapidly, moving to its current location on Syed Alwi Road in the 1980s and growing into one of Singapore’s largest and most iconic shopping complexes.
Today, it spans six levels, offering an enormous range of products from groceries to electronics, fashion, and even travel services.
