On the ground floor of Block 140 Teck Whye Lane in Choa Chu Kang, U Stars Mega Mart @ 817 is the neighbourhood's handy answer to the daily grocery run. The store is part of U Stars Supermarket, a homegrown brand of neighbourhood-friendly lifestyle supermarkets whose outlets, many of them operating around the clock, are dotted across Singapore's heartlands. Where bigger chains can feel impersonal, U Stars has built its identity around being exactly what its own site suggests: a supermarket for the neighbourhood lifestyle, near you.
U Stars describes itself as offering affordable and quality grocery in Singapore, with stores located primarily in the heartland across the island. The idea is simple: shoppers should be able to find various food assortments, fresh produce and household merchandise in a comfortable shopping environment, without travelling to a mall. The brand operates stores under three formats of varying sizes and selections, so each outlet is fitted to its neighbourhood, with the shared aim of providing value at affordable pricing.
At the heart of the brand's philosophy is a phrase it uses often: aiming to be customers' trusted partner in the area of home making and living. In practice, that means keeping the shelves stocked for real, everyday households — the weeknight dinner, the mid-week top-up, the forgotten ingredient picked up late in the evening.
Walk in and you'll find the essentials a Choa Chu Kang household reaches for most: fresh produce, everyday food assortments and household merchandise for daily living. The range is deliberately broad rather than boutique — the aim is that a household can cover most of its weekly list in one comfortable stop.
U Stars also makes a point of widening its selection of cultural groceries — the staples and specialty items that reflect the diverse tastes of Singapore's heartland shoppers — alongside imported merchandise sourced for individuals and modern families whose purchase patterns keep evolving. If you cook across cuisines, or simply want something beyond the usual supermarket range, those aisles are worth a browse.
Because the brand states that all its supermarkets operate 24 hours across Singapore, its stores slot neatly into irregular schedules — early risers picking up breakfast fixings, night-shift workers doing a quiet shop, parents grabbing a forgotten snack ingredient. A handful of U Stars outlets do run shorter hours, so it is worth confirming late-night opening with the store if your trip falls at an unusual hour.
One of the more distinctive things about U Stars is how openly it talks about learning from its shoppers. The brand describes a customer-partnership approach, following up with willing customers in one-on-one conversations to get a deeper sense of how they feel about the store and what could be improved. "In short," the company says, "our customers make us better!" For a neighbourhood supermarket, that closeness to its regulars is part of the draw — feedback about what is missing from the shelves has a genuine route to being heard, via the contact form on the U Stars website.
This branch serves residents of Teck Whye and the surrounding Choa Chu Kang blocks, putting a full grocery run within a short walk of home. To keep an eye on promotions, seasonal happenings and new-store news, U Stars maintains a Happenings page on its website and is active on Facebook, Instagram, Telegram and TikTok. Store details, including the full list of outlets and their operating hours, are kept on the brand's website under Our Stores — and if Teck Whye Lane is not your nearest outlet, locations span the Central, North-East, North, South, East and West regions of Singapore, several of them operating around the clock.
For a quick restock or a fuller weekly shop, U Stars Mega Mart @ 817 aims to be the dependable, close-to-home option: affordable, well-stocked and shaped by the very neighbours it serves.
