Ang Hiap Lee Departmental Store

This stationery store has been serving residents in the neighbourhood since 1980. Run by the Ang family, Ang Hiap Lee used to operate as a furniture shop in a village near the former Boh Sua Tian Road along Yio Chu Kang Road. When redevelopment took off in the 1970s, the business was resettled to Ang Mo Kio, whereupon the family decided to sell stationery instead as there were no other such shops in the neighbourhood. Ms Ang Bee Yan, who took over the shop from her father in 1984, recalls, “Ang Mo Kio was a new town then, and there were many school children. There were also many office workers from the industrial park. As such, business in the ‘80s was very brisk. Today, the younger generation has largely moved out to other estates and business has slowed down.”
