The offer is simple — each watermelon costs just S$1, but on a “take-and-go” basis only. This means that you bring the fruit home as it is and can’t request for it to be cut.
Speaking to MS News, Stella, the stall owner, said that they’ve sold over 4,800 watermelons at the time of this article.
When asked about the inspiration for the promotion, the 49-year-old said the weather has been extremely hot of late and she hopes the watermelons would be able to “cool” customers down.
Stella also shared that they plan on running the promotion till the end of the week but may extend it if they “manage to get more stock”.
In a separate interview with Shin Min Daily News, the stall owner revealed that they’re selling the watermelons at a loss — each fruit reportedly costs S$1.50.
