In an announcement on Aug 31, Autagco says it will shut down its Raffles City outlet, after it could not come to "mutually acceptable terms" for lease renewal with the landlord.
Both parties have agreed to terminate the lease, and that the outlet has ceased operations on Aug 31 and that the premises will be handed over to the landlord on Sept 11.
Autagco estimates it will incur an immediate one-off cost of around $15,000 for the premises handover costs related to the closure of this outlet.
In an earlier announcement on July 28, Autagco said it has shut down its Jurong Point outlet and will incur costs of some $11,000.
