SINGAPORE - It appeared business as usual on Monday at Forever 21's only remaining store here, at 313 @ Somerset, even after the global fashion retailer announced that it has filed for bankruptcy.

Part-time staff Karla Canaveral, 17, who has been working at the store for 10 months, said:"Every day, a few customers will ask us when is our last day or whether we are closing."The store's supervisor Laura, who declined to give her full name, said they had two years left on the lease so closure is not in the books.

When asked, Landlease, which runs 313 @ Somerset, said it has not been notified of any change to the lease for the Forever 21 store at the mall. She added that the mall is almost fully occupied with an occupancy rate of 99.6 per cent as at June 30 this year.
