Parisilk - An Alternative to Mustafa Center

Competitively priced electronics and gadgets in a Singapore store.

Another Electronics Goods Discount Store in Singapore

You would have probably heard of the name "Mustafa Center" when you are in Singapore. It is the famous 24-hour shopping center in Little India that sells almost anything under the sun.

However it is most famous for competitively priced electronics like digital cameras, DSLRs, mobile phones, camera accessories and other IT gadgets. But the Mustafa Center is a big department store that sells virtually anything, it does not have the widest range of electronics goods on sale. Also, at times it can get pretty crowded that may overwhelm a first-time shopper in Mustafa Center.

So is there another electronics goods discount store in Singapore that is less crowded and offer the same or even lower prices than Mustafa Center?

Yes! Definitely!

The Parisilk Electronics and Computers Pte Ltd company operates a chain of neighborhood discount stores in Singapore. These discount stores specializes in selling only electronics and computer appliances. Their business model is to sell by volume and hence their markups are minimal and at times can even be cheaper than Mustafa Center!

Stuff that Parisilk sells include notebooks, printers, scanners, routers, home theater systems, Blu-ray players, LCD TVs, coffee machines, DSLRs from major brands and even binoculars!

For business traders, they even have a dedicated export department to service you!
