A snack shop at Marina Square in Singapore has built its workforce around older employees and people who use mobility aids, AsiaOne reported on Thursday. The outlet described the business as an "enterprise with a heart," a label it applied to the shop's approach to hiring. AsiaOne's report highlights the store's practice of bringing in workers from these two groups.
According to AsiaOne, the shop's staffing model places elderly workers and mobility aid users in its day-to-day operations. The report frames the arrangement as a deliberate choice by the business rather than a one-off gesture.
The story adds to a broader conversation in Singapore about employment for older residents and for people with mobility needs. AsiaOne's coverage presents the Marina Square shop as an example of a retail business that has adjusted its hiring to include these workers.
The report does not detail the shop's name, the number of employees, their roles, or how long the arrangement has been in place. It also does not include comment from the business, its staff, or any government or advocacy body.
What to watch next: whether AsiaOne follows up with specifics on the shop's operations, or whether other Singapore retailers adopt similar hiring practices.
