FairPrice launches disabled-friendly store

Singapore's NTUC FairPrice’s newest supermarket outlet in the Enabling Village, an integrated community space for people with disabilities, is designed for the convenience of shoppers with disabilities or ageing.

The supermarket, called ‘Enabled Store’, has staff with special training, as well as lower checkout counters and shelves for customers in wheelchairs.

The store features call buttons at the entrance and along store aisles and magnifying glasses to assist shoppers in reading product labels. There is also a wider variety of supplements with the Healthier Choice Symbol (HCS) and assistive products available.
