'We need your help': Corndog stall at Singapore Night Bazaar risks $10k loss due to low footfall
The owner of Kwazy Korndogs has made a desperate plea on TikTok, revealing that her corndog stall is on the brink of losing $10,000 at the Singapore Night Bazaar due to poor turnout.
"We are on the verge of losing $10K. We need your help," she said in the video, which has since garnered over 400,000 views and more than 1,400 comments.
Despite the bazaar's prime location at Bayfront and a visually appealing setup, the crowds simply failed to show up.
Daily sales as low as $17
In her video, the owner shared that rent costs $500 a day.
While the stall earned a healthy $560 on opening day, sales dropped sharply over the next four days -- falling to between $32 and just $17 daily.
She also spoke to nearby vendors, who reportedly managed to sell just two food portions and one packet of candy that day.
"Maybe there's a lack of marketing by the organisers," said the owner of Kwazy Korndogs. "Maybe there's just no weekly crowd."
She added that feedback has been submitted to Singapore Night Bazaar, and they are waiting for a response.
Feeling "hopeless", the owner said stallholders now feel it's on them to pull in visitors.
"If you like food, nostalgic rides, beautiful lighting, and want to catch the NDP fireworks, please stop by," she urged.
The stall will be operating daily from 4pm to 10pm daily until August 10.
The New Paper has reached out to both Singapore Night Bazaar and Kwazy Korndogs for comment.
Netizens unaware of bazaar
Netizens flooded the comments with sympathy, many admitting they hadn't even heard of the bazaar.
"Nobody knows about this event," one commenter wrote, pointing to a lack of marketing by the organisers.
Others echoed the sentiment, saying they only found out about the event through the video.
"I work at Bayfront area and I also didn't know about this event until I saw this," said another commenter.
One user promised to swing by: "We will visit this Friday."
