Fast food chain Long John Silver's shutters another Singapore outlet after at least 5 closures this year
Long John Silver's, known for its fried seafood, is shutting its outlet at the Woods Square development in Singapore, following at least five other closures in the city-state this year.
Long John Silver's, a fast food chain, is closing another Singapore outlet at the end of October, according to a notice posted at the Woods Square location. The chain has already shut down stores at Jurong Point mall earlier this week, as well as Suntec City, Kampung Admiralty, Tampines Mall, and Tanglin Halt road, according to The Straits Times and media reports.
The Tampines Mall outlet had been in operation for over a decade before closing in March due to a significant number of long-term tenants leaving the mall, as reported by Channel News Asia. Long John Silver's first entered the Singapore market in 1983, with the company's website currently listing 11 outlets across the city-state.
The closures of Long John Silver's outlets come amid a high rate of turnover in Singapore's food and beverage sector. A total of 2,101 businesses in the F&B industry closed down in the first seven months of 2026, a 25.1% increase from the same period the previous year, according to The Business Times. Meanwhile, 2,594 new F&B businesses were registered during the same period.
