The announcement was made on Nov. 3 through the brand's official fanpage with 65,000 followers.

The outlet had operated since March 2024.

Launched in November 2018, PewPew marked Vietnamese streamer Hoang Van Khoa's entry into the food and beverage industry, drawing large crowds of fans and fellow streamers who queued up on its opening day.

The chain's expansion, however, has faced setbacks. In December 2019, an outlet in Thu Duc closed after only about three months of operation.

Banh mi is largely considered Vietnam's most popular street food. It is a fusion of cold cuts and vegetables like coriander, cucumber, pickled carrots and daikon combined with condiments from French cuisine like pate and mayonnaise.

A wide variety of popular fillings can used, including cha lua (Vietnamese pork bologna), fried eggs, grilled pork, and meat balls.

It was many times voted one of world's best sandwiches by international media.
