这五年来作为先得坊（Centrepoint）主力租户的零售连锁店美罗百货公司，随着时代书局（Times Bookstores）和添宝珠宝行（TianPo Jewellery）等数个租户宣布搬出后，美罗也在近期宣布将于下个月关闭该旗舰店。 据《海峡时报》报导，该公司将不会续租，本地只保留百丽宫（Paragon）购物中心和长堤坊的两间零售店。 “近年来，美罗一直在合理化其零售业务，以应对万变的市场条件……美罗将继续专注于本地和印度尼西亚的核心零售业务，以及房地产投资和发展。” 要搬迁的商店，如时代书局和添宝珠宝行则进行着搬迁促销活动。 商场的低人潮流量或许是美罗决定撤出的原因。 据悉，在过去三个月内，已有包括翡翠小厨（Crystal Jade Kitchen）和教育玩具公司The Better Toy Store在内等四个租户迁出先得坊商场。 网民：失去昔日荣耀 有零售专家认为，不论是先得坊或美罗，都没有跟上新生代的喜好。 一些网民形容，先得坊仿佛失去了昔日荣耀，认为或许该商场的地理位置不适合；有者指出，这反映现今的经济状况，高租金加上现今网购崛起，也令许多业者面对极大压力。 其中一名网民感叹，先得坊在80、90年代是青少年的聚集地；罗敏申百货是主要租户，每逢圣诞那地方就打扮得像童话故事般。她也怀念那美好的80、90年代，认为过去的乌节路才是最棒的。 有网民也回应，还记得过去新年倒数，乌节路会封路，每个人都能在街道上载歌载舞。 “怀念先得坊过去的灯饰” 有网民也形容，过去先得坊的圣诞花灯装饰总能卫冕冠军，艳压群芳： Rossa Anand表示怀念以前80年代，在临近圣诞节时，坐在先得坊的露天饮食中心，吃着粿条，数着驯鹿上的灯火，当时的美罗是如此繁华： 网民Shahlan分析，地价过高，只有大品牌商家有能力承租，结果去到每个商场，看到的都是同样的品牌商店；SC Tung则分析先得坊快要被313@Somerset和Orchard Central商场取代 ...
