In 1980, Uncle Vincent and his wife opened Kai Joo Departmental & Optical as a small showcase unit selling watches and providing other watch-related services.

The next year, he moved to a shop unit at Tanjong Pagar Plaza in Singapore, and stayed there since, expanding his business to provide optical and optometry services.

Business grew and his younger brothers opened their own Kai Joo shops and operated them independently.

However 40 years later, the global coronavirus pandemic resulted in Singapore implementing the Circuit Breaker in April 2020 to reduce community infections. The Circuit Breaker only allowed for businesses operating essential services to remain open, which meant that 65-year-old Uncle Vincent could only operate his optometry and key making services. At best, his once bustling shop only saw less than 10 customers a week.

Moving items to sell online was not an easy feat, as Uncle Vincent was not familiar with e-commerce nor IT savvy, so providing proper description and photos of his products were a challenge

So in September 2020, his son-in- law decided to make a career switch and take over the online platform so that Uncle and Auntie can focus on the retail store, and relieve their stress of trying to adapt to technology

And the rest is history.
