  1. I am keen in starting a business in fashion clothes for young teens and adults. However, I would like to rent a stall/pushcart/flea market space to test out the market first on weekend basis. Could you advise me on the ideal location? My budget for space rental is around S$70 or less per day. I mean not necssary to be in Shopping Centre because if shopping will be expensive. Anyway i have just started at Clark QUAY at three weeks ago as the response i s good but the rent is too expenisve. Do you have any subject?? Hope to hear from you asap. Thank Yo

  2. Hi Emily,

    There are many, many factors to consider – I’ve written a post on it before:
    http://www.youngupstarts.com/2008/08/17/where-should-i-locate-my-fashion-pushcart-business/

    There is no one location that is the most ideal, it all depends on what kind of fashion you have, and what pricing you are going to set. But I do hear from a friend that the Tanglin Mall flea market is a good place to experiment as it gets a very good crowd on weekends (usually expatriates and foreign domestic help who love their fashion).

    Hope this helps!

  4. I am keen on getting a pushcart to sell basically food for adults like breakfast set and etc..
    i prefer @ west area and near interchange.. do u have any suggestion as well ?

    • Hi Rachelle,

      I recommend you spend some time observing the morning work rush around the various bus interchanges and MRT stations, especially those with heavy foot traffic such as Jurong East and Jurong West.

      Studying what’s currently available at those locations and what people buy for breakfast can give you an interesting insight of what can or cannot sell.

      All the best!

  5. hi everyone
    i have few question to those of you which understanding in push cart buiseness
    i’m looking for best location to open push cart?

    please let me know or emeil me
    gili_m3@yahoo.com
    thanks gil

  6. I am keen on getting a pushcart to sell all age clothes etc..
    i prefer doing at shopping mall.. but i dun have any idea of place do u have any suggestion ?

  7. Hi nobody,

    The first thing I’d recommend is to consider focusing on a target audience first – selling “all age” clothes is a recipe for disaster. The places a school-going youth go to buy clothes is totally different from a senior citizen.

  8. den you got any recommend for mi.if i sell youth clothes where should i location the store.?i am thinking of having a pushcart but i have no idea where to open?thanks.

  9. Hi nobody,

    Not sure if you have read these other posts I put up on pushcart marketing, they may be helpful:
    http://www.youngupstarts.com/2008/08/17/where-should-i-locate-my-fashion-pushcart-business/
    http://www.youngupstarts.com/2007/08/16/pushcart-entrepreneurship/

    I hesitate to recommend exact locations to you (after all I don’t want to be blamed in the future if things go wrong), but you may want to check out the following youth-friendly locations: Bugis Junction, Cathay Cineleisure, Plaza Singapura, Tampines Mall.

    I recommend you spend some time researching the type of people who frequent these malls and see if the traffic and demographic suits your wares.

    All the best!

  10. nobody will blame you if anything go wrong in fact i should thank you for giving mi all the important suggestion. but hows the rental there.? do you have any idea.?cause i plan to start from BLOG shop first.but i dunno how the market out side now.?

  11. Hi,

    I have noticed that the locations fore rental which are stated above are mostly for shopping malls and central areas. Would you happen to have any information of rental of push carts in the beach areas like Sentosa or Changi. Thinking on setting up a one under food and beverage.

    • Hi Carol,

      Currently I don’t have the contacts to the locations you mentioned, but if you or anybody else has them I’d be glad to update the list.

  12. Thanks for this useful info. You mind if I put this information in my website? With attribution, of course.

    • Hi,

      I’d prefer if you link to this site as opposed to putting the information up wholesale on your site.

      Thanks.

  13. Hi, do you have information on rental of pushcart in SIM? Thanks.

    • Hi ANG (and all),

      What you see in the list is all I have. If it’s not there, it’s not there.

      Feel free to contribute contact details for other locations if you have.

      And sorry, I don’t search out contact details on anybody’s behalf – this is simply community service and I don’t make money from this. Now, if you offer to pay me to do your research for you, that’ll be a different story. No offense intended.

      Otherwise, all the best.

  14. I need a 2 pushcarts for a school event. Duration 2 days. Where can I loan / rent pushcarts? thanks.

  15. Hi Diana,

    Contacts are provided in the list. You can call/email them to find out more.

  16. Hi Everyone,

    I would like to start up a small business to test the market selling fashion clothing ,
    my target is daily about $70 in wet market to have a stall . But i do not who and where should i find .
    Can anyone advise me , or know any people can rent a place for me in wet market.

    my mobile :91812231
    Thanks Ya

  17. Hi Nyx,

    For wet markets, you’ll need to contact the various Town Councils that oversee them, and they should be able to guide you to the right people. However, they have rather stringent guidelines when it comes to leasing the stalls i.e. you need to be retired and have a family income below a certain level.

    I’m not too sure about selling fashion clothing in wet markets, unless you’re targeting the elderly women market. In any case, all the best!

  18. Hi, Is a license needed to open a push cart to sell things? if so, how to obtain one?

  19. Hi Min,

    Pushcarts in established malls or designated spaces usually do not require licenses.

    However, you’ll need one depending on the type of goods you’re peddling. Food, health products, for example, may require approval from authorities. Go check at http://www.business.gov.sg for the appropriate licenses.

  20. Im thinking of BUYING pushcarts, or renting the pushcarts, anyone know where I can buy them, and maybe these suppliers also service and maintain them when they are broken etc.

    Email me at jacklin84@gmail.com

  21. Hi,

    Interested parties who are interested in renting pushcarts at UE Square at 81 Clemenceau Avenue (near River Valley/DBL O area) We have 2 pushcarts in the mall, suitable for any trades. If you’re interested, can drop me an email!

    valeriekho@uel.com.sg

    thanks :)

  22. I have been surfing the web for 2 days and could not find a place that all the malls got the pushcart from? Does anyone know when can i buy pushcart from? or even suppliers…i wish to know more and hope anyone with the information can help me.

    San

  25. Hi Daniel,

    May i know the rates of push cart in Tampines Mall? Is there still have any space for push cart?

    Thanks=)

    Sylvia

    • Hi sylvia,

      You’ll have to apply directly to the mall yourself, as my site only does this as an information resource. However, if you’d like to pay me a commission to do it, that’s different of course!

      But it’s best you go direct. Cheers and all the best.

      Daniel

  26. hi daniel

    thanks for your advise=)

    Sylvia

  30. Hi,

    My sister and i will like to open a pushcart at far east plaza..are you able to get the number??\

    Thanks:)

    • You can try calling 67326266 (o) or 96736477/96675130 (hp) – it’s for the rentals for shops but they can probably help you on the pushcarts as well.

  31. Hi, i am wantin to sell some cosmetics. Interested to rent a push cart. Is there any weekend push carts available?

  32. hi,

    my partner n I fly often and we ve imported quite a bit of items from Japan 100yen stall. wonder if we should start a pushcart or in fact should we just find ways to sell them? thks

  33. hi,
    commission for anyone who recommend buyers for my 100yen items. thks…

  34. Hi there Daniel,

    First and foremost, thank you for the information.

    I would just like to ask you if you have ever heard of shops renting rack space, i.e. subletting. Rack or table space catering mainly for clothes and accessories. If so, would you have any idea on the location and rental rates of these shops?

    Thanks!

  35. Hi Daniel,
    I am looking for a place to sell Japanese tableware sets which are below $90, where do you think I should consider (I am thinking of Tanglin Mall bec of its expatriate clientale) setting up the push carts?

    Thank you.

    • Hi Kim,

      For Japanese tableware, you can consider places that attract a large tourist crowd – other than Tanglin Mall, Suntec City and Raffles City Shopping Centre can be good options. However, rentals at those places can be steep.

      Tanglin Mall sometimes also have a weekend bazzaar, but that’s probably not suitable for Japanese tableware.

      I’d recommend trying something different instead – talk to furniture retail shops to see if they are willing to carry (and more importantly, display) your products.
