History
Mustafa was founded by Indian businessman Mustaq Ahmad in 1971, and at first sold mainly clothing. In 1985, Mustaq moved his business to the ground floor of Serangoon Plaza.
As his business expanded, Mustaq bought over a shop-house on Syed Alwi Road. Subsequently, he also bought the neighboring units, but decided to build a new shopping mall to house his business.
Mustafa Centre also sold parallel imported cars in 2005 but has since stopped selling cars.
