This is the new Esprit shop in Mandarin Hotel at Orchard Road. Esprit now occupies the shop space vacated by Singapore Airlines recently.

Singapore Airline's Customer Service Centre has moved across the street to the opposite shopping centre The Paragon where it is now located on the second level. You can't miss the service centre from Orchard Road; its logo is displayed prominently on The Paragon's facade.

Whilst taking this photograph, we spotted a new two-storey SingTel shop a stone's throw away from The Paragon. It is a customer service centre and occupies the shop space vacated by Esprit recently. The security guard at the door said it would be opened for business next week. The place is a hive of activity but we couldn't get inside for a sneak look. However, we will get more news on it as soon as it opens.
