Uncle Yap's Enterprise

As the shop’s name suggests, the owner of the shop is none other than Uncle Yap himself. The shop is manned by both Uncle and Aunty Yap. As a convenience store, they open their shop pretty late at 1pm. They go home at midnight. When asked why such odd opening hours, they claimed that’s when most of their customers come in.

Uncle Yap offers many things in his shop. Besides the usual household items, snacks and drinks that a normal convenience store would sell, you can also find a good range of hardware items like screws, screw drivers, wire ties, even water taps and their spare parts! They have lots of stationaries; writing and drawing materials, all kinds of pens and pencils, even the complex features calculators we used in school are available. Young children love to go Uncle Yap for their variety of toys. They were even selling scary masks during Halloween!

It's amazing how they can stock so many things and yet the shop space can look so spacious. They also offer other services like photocopying, printing and computer repair. Uncle Yap is definitely more than a convenience store!
