Little Caesars Pizza is closing its last outlet in Singapore


Little Caesars Pizza, the American pizza chain known for its value-for-money offerings, is closing its last remaining outlet in Singapore this September.

On September 3, the brand announced via their Facebook and Instagram pages that they would be closing their Funan Mall outlet.

The news comes after a series of gradual closures across the city-state, signalling the end of the brand’s presence in Singapore for now.

According to the article, Little Caesars has been steadily shutting down its outlets over the past few weeks, with the Ang Mo Kio and Northshore Plaza branches ceasing operations on August 13 and 26, respectively. 

However, the final date for the Funan outlet’s closure has yet to be confirmed.

“A goodbye for now, Singapore!” the brand shared in its social media post. “Grab your large pizzas starting from S$11.90 while you can!”

A decline foretold?

The closure of Little Caesars’ Funan outlet may come as a surprise to some, but for those who have been following the brand’s journey in Singapore, the writing has been on the wall for a while, according to Mothership’s article. 

Since July 2023, six outlets in popular locations like Holland Village, Ang Mo Kio, Clementi, and Punggol have closed their doors, hinting at a broader exit strategy.

Little Caesars quickly became a household name for budget-conscious pizza lovers in Singapore. Their affordable large pizzas and quick service made them a go-to choice for families and students alike.

Little Caesars has a long history dating back to its founding in 1959 as a family-owned restaurant in Michigan. 

According to CNA, despite its global success, it only entered the Singapore market in 2018, opening its first outlet at Collyer Quay. The brand rapidly expanded, with stores popping up across the island in locations like Funan, SingPost Centre, and Junction Nine.

As the third-largest pizza chain in the world, Little Caesars has a presence in 26 countries and territories, with at least one outlet in every U.S. state. 

However, despite its international acclaim, it seems that the brand faced challenges in sustaining its operations in Singapore.

Whether this is truly the end of Little Caesars in the city-state, only time will tell. But for now, it’s a goodbye—and hopefully not a permanent one.
