History
Completed in November 1995, Tampines Mall was developed by DBS Land (the predecessor of Capitaland) and NTUC Fairprice Co-Operative. It was officially opened by then Minister for Communications Mr Mah Bow Tan in February 1996. Like suburban malls completed at that time, it had various anchor tenants, such as an Isetan department store, a Golden Village cineplex, a Kopitam food court, an NTUC Fairprice supermarket, a Popular bookstore, Toys 'R' Us and more than 100 specialty shops. It was the one of the largest suburban malls in Singapore back then.
In 2004, the mall underwent its first refurbishment, such as building a sheltered linkway to Century Square, adding more restaurants on the first floor, and converting the video games arcade to a play deck.
The mall underwent its second refurbishment in 2014, this time converting the roof level into an education hub, and giving a facade a new appearance. The food court, cinema and Basement 1 shops were renovated as well, During the refurbishment, a new tenant, H&M was allocated to Levels 2 and 3, taking up the former space left vacant by Courts and various shops.
In August 2020, H&M ceased operations, in which Uniqlo took up its space in February 2021, having relocated from its previous spot in neighbouring Tampines 1. New Balance will move to a bigger outlet near to Uniqlo on April 2022, together with Weston Corp. Superga will cease operation in Tampines Mall on 27 April 2022. This will make its way for the modern Cotton On store and future tenants which will open in August 2022.
