In February, Woodlands residents had to bid the Cold Storage at Causeway Point farewell after over two decades of operations.
A few months later, FairPrice Finest has come along and slotted right into the vacant space. And it comes with its own unique features.

While FairPrice Finest retains its ever-popular halal section, it has also enlisted the help of Jeya Spices to bring fresh spice blends to its customers.
There’s even an in-store coconut grinder, where you can get the freshest coconut shavings for all your delectable recipe needs.
On Wednesday (1 Jun), NTUC FairPrice shared on Facebook that a brand new FairPrice Finest outlet has opened its doors at Causeway Point.
The grocery store will fulfil all your basic shopping needs while also featuring exciting extra features exclusive to this outlet.
As most Singaporean cooking involves a myriad of spices, the folks behind Jeya Spices have set up a dedicated spot in FairPrice Finest that serves up fresh blends.

Offering freshly blended spices in various quantities, Jeya Spices proudly confirmed that they are a part of the new supermarket.
Their station boasts a coconut grinder, so customers can look forward to getting fresh coconut shavings on the spot.
This marks the first time such a contraption has been made available in a supermarket as they are usually in wet markets.

As part of the grand opening, Jeya Spices staff will be in the store every day from 9am to 9pm throughout the whole month of June to make your spice blend of choice.
After this period, they’ll adjust their operating hours to fit the crowds.
Meat lovers would be happy to know that FairPrice Finest has brought its popular roast meat counter to the new outlet.

To cater to the large Muslim community in Woodlands, this supermarket also boasts the largest dedicated halal section in a FairPrice Finest store.
This includes organic options too so health-conscious folks can make the most informed purchases.

However, those looking for a halal roast meat section may need to visit the store to confirm its existence as one customer was reportedly unable to find it during their recent visit.
