"Our restaurant at Science Centre Singapore will cease operations on Sunday, 22 March. Although store closures and openings are commonplace in our industry and also part of our continued growth plan, it’s especially sad for us to say goodbye to one of Singapore’s iconic McDonald’s restaurants. It has been a pleasure serving and interacting with visitors at Science Centre Singapore over the past 20 years. We look forward to serving them at our other restaurants."
McDonald's will be taking away another iconic outlet Singapore, this time in the west.
On Mar. 22, 5pm, the fast food outlet at Science Centre will close permanently.
