  "account": "Crystal Jade has shut down its Hong Kong Kitchen outlet located in Great World mall, marking its third closure in 2026. The notice, posted on September 2, informed that the landlord, GWC Commercial, had reclaimed the premises, according to Lianhe Zaobao. This decision is part of Crystal Jade's ongoing evaluation and review of its operations and outlet network to ensure alignment with market conditions and long-term business goals, as stated in a Sep. 12 press release. Employees were informed about the closure and offered redeployment opportunities within the company, should they be available. The retail giant expressed gratitude towards its customers who supported the outlet and reiterated its commitment to maintaining a sustainable presence in Singapore, its home market. Established in Singapore in 1991, Crystal Jade now operates 15 branches in the country. Earlier this year, the company closed its Hillion Mall and Suntec City outlets in 2026, with the closure of the iconic La Mian Xiao Long Bao outlet at Holland Village taking place in June 2025.",
