LUXURY retailer Club 21 is pulling the plug on its iShop at Orchard Cineleisure - billed as the largest store of its kind in Asia - because of weakening sales. The flagship technology outlet, which employs more than 30 staff, will close by the end of this month.
The 10,000 sq ft store sold Apple computers and accessories, and also established an in-house Mac training centre. But the company issued a press statement yesterday saying it was shutting down this aspect of its operations.
A spokesman said the company will redeploy the 34 iShop employees wherever possible. Its human resource team will also help those who are laid off with career counselling and outplacement assistance.
