"We regret to inform you that Biscuit King will be ceasing operations in a few months' time (31st Jan 2027)," the store located on Casuarina Road said in a notice shared on Facebook.

"From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your loyalty, support and wonderful memories over the years. It has been a true privilege serving you."

Owner Benny Ong said rising operating costs were the main reason for the closure, as biscuit prices have risen over the years.

"Plastic bag and container costs are projected to increase more than 30% this year by our supplier," he told The Straits Times. "Our current landlord is selling the property. Thus, we can expect (a) rental increase with the new owner."

He added that there are no plans to relocate or continue operating online.

The business began in 1982 as a provision shop called Chua Seng Minimart before being registered as Biscuit King in 2008.

It offers a range of old-school snacks, including iced gem biscuits, butterfly crackers and lemon puffs, as well as toys like Old Maid playing cards and pick-up sticks, according to AsiaOne.

"Sad to hear this nostalgic shop is closing down, very wasted and another memory gone," one Facebook user commented on a post about the planned closure.

"Bought my biscuits from this shop. Memories for Gen X. Some toys and biscuit sold belong uniquely to Singapore," another user said.
