What happened to A&W in singapore?

Question

what caused A&W in singapore to close down? and if it re-enters, what do u think needs improvement?

Answer 1

I miss the A&W in Singapore too!

The first A&W store opened at Dunearn Road in Singapore in 1966 as the first fast food restaurant from the U.S.A. in that country. The chain expanded in the later years, including one at Singapore Zoo which closed in 1999. The chain's Singapore operations dwindled by the beginning of the 21st Century, and by 2002 it had only 7 outlets around the island. A&W finally closed in 2003.

I guess the food that they serve is not so appealing in Singapore due to the multi-racial society and also the fact that it is competing with many other brands like Mac's and KFC and all. And also perhaps of rental price as the 1st person replied.

If they re-enter, I think they would need to have a target audience and work on it.
