A photo submitted by an eyewitness shows an injured man being wheeled out of a FairPrice Xtra outlet at Jem shopping mall in Jurong.
A FairPrice spokesperson said a deep fryer at the “Ready-to-Eat” counter caught fire at about 10.30am.
It was put out by a fire sprinkler in the area.
FairPrice said it immediately evacuated staff and customers.
The three who were hurt were staff members of its vendor.
The Singapore Civil Defence Force said two of them, a man and a woman, suffered burns to their right forearms and were sent to Singapore General Hospital.
The third person suffered burns to his arm, but declined to be sent to hospital.
FairPrice said operations at the outlet resumed about an hour later at 11.20am.
It is working with the authorities to determine the cause of the fire.
