What started as a historic event 25 years ago, GSS:
Experience Singapore will take place between June 21 and July 28, 2019. This year, SRA is spicing things up even
more to give today’s experience-seeking shoppers a retail therapy like no
other. As part of the six week-long event, GSS: Experience Singapore will run
shopping sprees such as ‘TGIF!’, which will be held every Friday, where
exciting sales and discounts await your pockets.
