Grocery shopping in Singapore has indeed evolved. The days of last-minute, grab-and-go top-ups are slowly giving way to bigger, more intentional restocks — baskets that reflect how we’re planning meals, managing budgets, and organising home life.
foodpanda’s new pandamart XL stores in Kallang and Yio Chu Kang are designed exactly for this shift. With 30% more products and deliveries arriving within an hour, these upsized hubs make it easier to restock an entire household without the need to step outside.
Their newly launched Kiasu Pasar Report sheds light on how quick-commerce is evolving. Half of grocery orders now include housebrand items, pandapro subscribers save 30% more on average, and 70% of baskets feature fresh produce. Orders for frozen meals and condiments have climbed 20%, while demand for Japanese and Korean products is up by the same margin — because variety and convenience now go hand-in-hand.
As someone who still enjoys the buzz of a physical supermarket — being able to touch and feel the items, the wandering aisles, the inevitable impulse buys — I have to admit, I’m also part of the group that values convenience. With new pandamart XL stores popping up in heartland areas, more people, especially those not living with their elderly parents, will appreciate the ease of stocking up virtually for their families when needed. It’s convenience that brings a little homeliness right to your fingertips.
