KINEX (formerly OneKM), formerly known as One KM Mall, underwent a rebranding in 2018 and now positions itself as a community-focused mall. KINEX has undergone multiple branding revisions, evidenced by its new tagline, “Let’s Play!” The company targets fun-loving people who live busy and vivid lives. Just a few of the many restaurants in the mall, including well-known brands like Beauty in the Pot and Shi Li Fang, have been a part of KINEX since the days of OneKM Mall. In the basement, there is a food court where some well-known vendors provide chili crab wings from Two Wings, fried appetizers from MFC, and R&B bubble tea. On Level 2, KINEX (formerly OneKM) offers a nursing room, wheelchair rentals, and free WiFi. The mall also includes an AXS machine and a DBS ATM on Basement 1. A UOB ATM gets located on level 1.
