SINGAPORE, Oct 24 — Could Long John Silver’s be sailing away from our sunny island?

That’s a concern on some fans’ minds as a number of the popular fast food chain’s outlets shutter in Singapore.

The latest to join the list is its Woods Square branch in Woodlands, which will open one last time on October 30 after almost six years at the location.

A notice was put up at the outlet to inform customers of the closure, shared SG News Warehouse Sale & Events in a Facebook post on Wednesday (October 21).

“We would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for the support and patronage over the years,” it read.

Remaining outlets nearby include ones at Northpoint City and Wisteria Mall in Yishun, as well as Yew Tee Point, the notice added.

Following the latest closure, there will be 10 Long John Silver’s outlets left in Singapore — down from the 17 outlets reported by AsiaOne in end July last year.

Among those outlets that have shuttered this year are those at Jurong Point, which closed just days before on October 19, Kampung Admiralty on August 29 and at Tampines Mall earlier in March.

Other reported outlet closures this year include Suntec City, Commonwealth and Westgate Mall, according to social media.

The pattern eventually caught the attention of Long John Silver’s fans, with some taking to online forums to share concerns about its future in Singapore.

In a Reddit thread discussing the spate of closures, one user questioned whether the fast food chain was preparing to exit Singapore.

“Going to miss it when it’s gone,” the user added. — AsiaOne
