BreadTalk CEO Resigned, "personal and health reasons" - Is this real reason?

[whoami]

Indeed, rent is the main culprit of escalating costs especially the Capitaland malls.

If you're observant enough you can detect many retail casualties at malls islandwide, the shop space boarded up and occasionally 'a new shopping experience coming soon' sign. The small businesses and lesser brands are especially vulnerable.

If taxation kills businesses, rent kills enterprise.

My brother and me always waiting for the curry puffs, etc.

This was the worst venture by Breadtalk Group.

My advice: stick to selling bread and overpriced local cuisine, and leave ramen alone.

This are the very people who never learn.
Bid very high, how to earn?

 

[Mark9999]

What a joke.
Profit $30-$50/month?

If chicken, also must be certified Halal, right?

Now, I have to sell at a loss. Bloody hell.

No worries, pork tastes like chicken. With a lot of spices and seasoning, you can hardly tell the difference.

 

[winnipegjets]

Well said!

Taxation does not kill business leh.

Mine was a guy selling indian style mee siam in our kampung. And he cut the egg with a thread. I miss those days.

There is a swee Heng bakery in almost all heartland centrals and malls. Almost competing with btalk in malls but difference is btalk would be L1 they would be basement and they also halal. Interesting to compare how they doing with the 2 differentiators of lower rent and halal market.

The cost will pass down to consumer and KILL THE PEOPLE. The winner is ultimately the developer and don't ask how come some G's people are sitting on the board among those suckers, some with multiple directorship. Will they care about the people? Think!
