Kimly subsidiary to run One Punggol Hawker Centre when Timbre + Hawkers’ tenure ends
The Straits Times
|June 07, 2026
One Punggol Hawker Centre will be managed by Hawkermania from Aug 15 as current operator Timbre + Hawkers’ tenure ends.
Hawkermania is a subsidiary of Kimly, according to the latter’s 2024 annual report. Kimly - one of the Republic’s largest traditional coffee-shop operators — is listed on the Singapore Exchange.
Timbre + Hawkers is ending its tenure on Aug 4, a year short of its three-year contract. The reason behind it was not made public.
A tender for One Punggol Hawker Centre was called by the National Environment Agency (NEA) in January, and the agency announced the new operator in a Facebook post on June 5.
NEA had said in a December 2025 statement that Timbre + Hawkers would not be taking part in the January tender.
One Punggol Hawker Centre opened on Oct 31, 2022, and has about 30 hawkers, according to information on its website.
