Held at the Bird Paradise, we were honoured to welcome Senior Minister of State for Defence and Deputy Secretary General of the National Trades Union Congress, Mr Heng Chee How, along with 2,500 team members and their families and nearly 230 beneficiaries from MINDSET and CCSS. From inter-banner cheerleading and telematch competitions, the day was fun-filled with exciting activities, where participants displayed incredible spirit and enthusiasm. A shout-out to our Sports and Social organising committee and all team members for joining us on this special day of community empowerment to connect and forge unforgettable bonds. #DFIRetailGroup #FamilyDay2024 #Community #BuildingConnections #ServingCommunities #WeCarePassionately

Since 2007, Cold Storage and Giant have been proud to host the annual Kids Run event, fostering family togetherness and connecting with our amazing customers. We were thrilled to see the event return bigger and better than ever, welcoming thousands of participants and hundreds of dogs with families.   This year in Singapore, Sentosa buzzed with energy as thousands gathered for a day of fitness and fun. We have introduced the Woof-berry Run, a new category that delighted our furry friends and their owners. From the human claw machine to magic and puppet shows, paw-printing certifications, and delectable treats for both kids and fur kids, the event was a whirlwind of adventure and joy for all.   Every participant, whether racing competitively or taking a leisure run, enjoyed the thrill of crossing the finish line. The Woof-berry costume showcase stole the spotlight, with our furry friends strutting in adorable outfits. Laughter, joy, and unforgettable memories filled the air, marking yet another triumphant event.   A heartfelt thank you to our esteemed business partners, including #yuuSG, UOB, AIA, Dynamo – Whealthfields Lohmann (Singapore), Gardenia, Haagen Dazs, KAO, KraftHeinz, Leggos, Lion, PepsiCo, PG, Selleys – NipponPaint, Unilever, and many more, for their invaluable support in making this year's Kids Run an unforgettable one.

Grand Opening of CS Fresh at Chancery Court! We are proud to announce the grand opening and return of CS Fresh at Chancery Court. With over 18 years of experience operating in the area, CS Fresh is back with a fresh promise to be a cut above the rest, serving exceptional fresh food and experience at the store.     This will also be the very first CS Fresh in Singapore to feature Tanamera Coffee - an award-winning Indonesian specialty coffee roaster - within the supermarket, providing an even better shopping experience as customers can now get their caffeine fix while grocery shopping.    We have also built the store with sustainability in mind, minimising our environmental footprint where we can. CS Fresh at Chancery Court is one of the few supermarkets in Singapore using a closed waterloop system. It guarantees energy efficiency and reduces leakage risks. To keep our fresh food fresh, just the way our customers like it, we switched to a greener refrigerant gas and reduced the amount of refrigerant gas used within the cooling system.     Come visit us at the CS Fresh Chancery Court if you’re in town. We look forward to serving you and providing an elevated shopping experience, like no other!    #DFIRetailGroup #CSFresh #ColdStorageSG #WePutOurCustomersFirstAlways
