RedMan by Phoon Huat represents the modern evolution of a legacy brand that began in 1947 when founder Wong Tai Fuang started with a humble 35 sqm provision shop along Middle Road. What began as a traditional "mom & pop" baking supply store has transformed into Singapore's premier destination for baking enthusiasts. In 2011, recognizing that younger customers perceived the original Phoon Huat as "old school," the company commissioned a comprehensive brand study that led to the creation of the RedMan retail concept, officially launching their first flagship store at The Star Vista in 2018, revolutionizing the traditional baking supply shopping experience through innovation and customer engagement.
RedMan by Phoon Huat revolutionizes the traditional baking supply shopping experience by offering a multi-sensory, experience-driven environment that transforms baking dreams into reality. The store features innovative "Kitchen Pods" as centerpieces, providing interactive demonstrations, baking classes, and child-friendly activities that build customer confidence. Beyond traditional retail, RedMan houses an extensive array of over 15,000 products including ingredients and tools from both international renowned brands and homegrown suppliers. The concept caters to four distinct customer personas: novelty bakers, repertoire bakers, show and style bakers, and productivity-driven bakers, ensuring every visitor finds exactly what they need for their culinary adventures.
As a one-stop destination serving everyone from daily avid bakers to professional patissiers, RedMan offers comprehensive baking essentials crafted with precision and care, going beyond basic supplies by featuring "The Deli" section where gourmet chefs can discover artisan cheese, premium meats, and ready-to-eat specialty items. Their omni-channel approach combines Instagram-worthy physical spaces with digital platforms, creating flexible, low-commitment learning opportunities for aspiring bakers. With over 20 locations across Singapore serving more than 5,000 customers, RedMan has successfully maintained the founding values of honesty and reliability while appealing to modern consumers seeking quality, affordability, and an enriching retail experience that broadens their culinary horizons and supports their baking journey.
