<div id="readability-page-1">The outlet at the East Coast Seafood Centre, which was also the chain’s first location, will cease operations upon the expiry of its lease on Sep. 30, Jumbo said in a Facebook post last Saturday.&#34;After 39 memorable years at East Coast Park, we bid farewell to a place that has welcomed generations of guests and been part of countless cherished memories,&#34; it said in the post.Founded in 1987, Jumbo is among Singapore's best-known seafood chains. Some of its most popular dishes include Singapore chili crab, black pepper crab, cereal prawns, salted egg yolk prawns and crispy baby squid.It operates seven outlets in Singapore and has restaurants across China, South Korea, Thailand and Cambodia, according to its website.The East Coast Seafood Centre outlet made up around 14% of parent company Jumbo Group's revenue in the financial year ended September 2025.Its closure is not expected to have a material impact on the group's consolidated net tangible assets per share or consolidated earnings per share for the 2026 financial year ending Sep. 30 since the outlet will continue operating until its lease expires, the group said in a regulatory filing last Friday cited by The Business Times.But the shutdown will likely impact the group’s revenue for the next financial year, it added.<table><tbody><tr><td><img src="https://imageproxy.pbkrs.com/https://vcdn1-english.vnecdn.net/2026/06/01/174405337-3813033985488876-386-5849-8726-1780282568.jpg/query-ZHByPTEmZml0PWNyb3AmaD0wJnE9MTAwJnM9TWtsa1ItTjY5Y3NSdzhpZnRmR3FqUSZ3PTY4MA?x-oss-process=image/auto-orient,1/interlace,1/resize,w_1440,h_1440/quality,q_95/format,jpg" width="680" height="383" original-src="https://imageproxy.pbkrs.com/https://vcdn1-english.vnecdn.net/2026/06/01/174405337-3813033985488876-386-5849-8726-1780282568.jpg/query-ZHByPTEmZml0PWNyb3AmaD0wJnE9MTAwJnM9TWtsa1ItTjY5Y3NSdzhpZnRmR3FqUSZ3PTY4MA"/></td> </tr><tr><td> Jumbo Seafood's outlet at East Coast Seafood Centre.

It had also offered flexible lease arrangements to help their transition.</div>

Jumbo Seafood will close its flagship East Coast outlet in Singapore on September 30 due to lease expiry and National Parks Board redevelopment plans. The closure, ending 39 years of operation, is expected to impact the group's revenue for the next financial year but will not materially affect net tangible assets or earnings per share.
