The upcoming closure of the Long John Silver’s White Sands outlet marks the latest of several in 2026 for the fast-food chain known for battered seafood.

SINGAPORE – Fast-food chain Long John Silver’s will be closing its restaurant at White Sands shopping mall in Pasir Ris on Nov 18.

According to a notice pasted outside the outlet, its last day of operations is Nov 17.

A homemaker, who wanted to be known only as Afifah, said she often takes her children to the White Sands outlet for meals after school.

“I’m sad that there will be one fewer halal meal option after this place closes. My children like the food here,” said the 40-year-old, who was having lunch there.

Another diner, human resources executive Benjamin Lee, who works in the area, said he sometimes patronises the White Sands outlet during his lunch hour.

“I don’t feel much about the outlet closing as there are always other lunch options around,” said the 38-year-old.

“But it seems like a lot of food and beverage outlets have been closing in 2026, so that’s a pity.”

The impending outlet closure marks the latest of several in 2026 for the fast-food chain known for its golden battered seafood. Its Woodlands outlet was permanently shuttered on Oct 31.
