OldTown White Coffee has shut down its last remaining outlet in Singapore, located at Kallang Wave Mall. The decision marks the end of the Malaysian coffee chain’s presence in the city-state. The outlet, which has been a local favorite for years, will no longer operate as of the end of this month.
The closure follows a gradual reduction in the chain’s Singapore operations over the past few years. OldTown White Coffee, known for its traditional Malaysian coffee and tea, opened its first outlet in Singapore in the 1990s. The Kallang Wave Mall location was one of the last remaining branches in the country.
The move comes amid changing consumer habits and increasing competition in the coffee market. While the brand remains popular in Malaysia, its presence in Singapore has diminished. The closure is part of a broader strategy to refocus operations in its home country. No immediate plans for new locations in Singapore have been announced.
OldTown White Coffee has been a staple in Singapore’s coffee culture for over two decades. Its Kallang outlet was a regular stop for locals and visitors alike. The closure is seen as a significant moment for the city’s food and beverage scene. The brand’s legacy in Singapore will be remembered through its long-standing presence and loyal customer base.
