Japanese cafe chain Hoshino Coffee to shut 2 Singapore outlets in a month
Japanese cafe chain Hoshino Coffee will shutter two of its outlets in Singapore and temporarily close another within August, leaving just three stores in the city-state.
Hoshino Coffee, a Japanese premium specialty cafe chain, plans to close two of its Singapore outlets within the next month, according to recent notices. The United Square and Chinatown Point locations in Singapore are set to cease operations on August 23 and 31, respectively, without providing a specific reason for the closures.
In contrast, the Plaza Singapura store will temporarily shut down after August 30 but is expected to reopen at the end of September. The mall currently houses Hoshino Coffee's only outlet in Singapore and will undergo a significant revamp from the third quarter of 2026 to the fourth quarter of 2028. This S$160 million (US$124 million) renovation aims to bolster Plaza Singapura's position along the Orchard Road shopping belt by upgrading its facilities and introducing a new mix of tenants catering to both locals and tourists.
The mall will remain operational throughout the construction, which will be carried out in stages. Hoshino Coffee, founded in Japan in 2011, operates six outlets in Singapore, its initial overseas market, and an additional 16 locations outside of Japan.
