[SINGAPORE] Bubble tea brand Gong Cha appears to have shut down its Singaporean social media accounts and website, with some of its shops also shuttered on Oct 2.
Checks by ST on Oct 2 showed that Gong Cha’s Instagram and Facebook pages were unavailable. Gong Cha’s official Singapore website also appears to be offline.
On the GrabFood and foodpanda food delivery platforms, Gong Cha’s various shops were indicated as being closed or unavailable.
Gong Cha’s shops on GrabFood appear to have various opening times listed for several shops from Oct 6 to Dec 31.
However, on its international website, the store finder function still showed its various outlets in Singapore, albeit without details on opening hours.
In July, Facebook page I Love Tampines reported that Gong Cha had ceased operations at Simei MRT Station, while business website Yelp lists Gong Cha’s 100 AM mall outlet as closed.
In the UK, ST Group Food, the owner of Gong Cha’s operator GCTea Outlets 2B, said in July that it planned to liquidate its loss-making subsidiary. THE STRAITS TIMES
