Uniqlo posted on Insta that Marion will open May 16, which may have meant that their City store kids section is now removed? Comment below:

Kim Wang's supermarket closing down due to a hike in rents at the Market Plaza. This was inevitable given the type of development going on next door, its going to drive a lot of the independent retailers out.
Also Pure Vegetarian in the Market Plaza is closing down in June.

Devastated about Pure Vegetarian, one of the better places to eat in that food court.

Not sure what the operators of Market Plaza feel they have that's worth the rent hike? The food court is only a third occupied with empty shopfronts and the overall state of the centre is filthy (and not in an aesthetic way like the Central Market Arcade was). I suspect that these rent hikes were the reason for Goodies and Grain jumping ship this month after 30 years of trading.

I suspect they are anticipating higher rent paying franchise clientele due to the swanky development next door bringing a different kind of customer into the precinct
