Singapore’s F&B industry is notoriously tough, and it’s not just the big restaurants here that are feeling the heat. Famous hawker brands that have opened outlets found themselves grappling with expansion and having to close those stalls shortly after, like Nam Sing Hokkien Fried Mee, which recently shuttered its three-month-old Bukit Batok branch as it hasn’t “managed to live up to the expectations of our fans.”
Popular Western food stall
Old Airport Road Western Barbeque, which has been around since 1974, also expanded with three outlets in Bedok, Jurong and Toa Payoh.
The latter outlets, which opened in Dec 2021 and Jan 2022 respectively, have since closed.

It's a market correction.
Singapore has way too many places which sell food.
We are spoilt for choices. Hawker centers everywhere. Lots and lots of coffee shops. And then the food courts inside shopping malls. When retail failed, the units were converted to restaurants. Empty spaces meant for roadshows are now converted to F&B.
Beyond saturation point...
Survival of the fittest.

More competitions are always good for consumers.
The more shops and stalls the better.
If there are no competitions, prices will be sky high....surely something we don't want to see .
