Specialist's Shopping Centre
The Specialists' Shopping Centre (Chinese: 专业购物中心) was the oldest shopping centre on Orchard Road, a shopping area of Singapore. It was constructed in the early to mid-1970s. The largest tenant was the Hotel Phoenix Singapore. The John Little, a large tenant, has closed in anticipation of redevelopment. The Visitor's Guide of Singapore described the shopping centre as "revered". However, the Specialists' Shopping Centre along with the Hotel Phoenix Singapore had been demolished to make way for newer developments.

Famous quotes containing the words specialist, shopping and/or centre:
“A specialist is someone who does everything else worse.”
—Ruggiero Ricci (b. 1918)
“The most important fact about our shopping malls, as distinct from the ordinary shopping centers where we go for our groceries, is that we do not need most of what they sell, not even for our pleasure or entertainment, not really even for a sensation of luxury. Little in them is essential to our survival, our work, or our play, and the same is true of the boutiques that multiply on our streets.”
—Henry Fairlie (1924–1990)
“The great God absolute! The centre and circumference of all democracy! His omnipresence, our divine equality!”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
