from straitstimes.com:
Founder Bak Kut Teh closes two of its four outlets
The outlet in Hotel Boss in Jalan Sultan was shuttered on Dec 31, 2020.
SINGAPORE - Home-grown chain Founder Bak Kut Teh, which had four outlets a year ago, is now left with just two - its Balestier Road flagship store and a branch at Downtown East in Pasir Ris.
It closed its outlet in North Bridge Road opposite Bugis Junction at the end of October. And the one in Hotel Boss in Jalan Sultan was shuttered on Dec 31.
Founder Bak Kut Teh was started in 1978 in a coffee shop in Choa Chu Kang and moved to Balestier Road in 1998.
Second-generation owner Nigel Chua, 45, said business at the two closed outlets was badly affected by the Covid-19 pandemic.
He added: "The Bugis outlet depended mainly on tourists and the office crowd, both of whom were non-existent in October. And 90 per cent of the diners at Hotel Boss were tourists."
He had sent out an appeal on social media on July 15 last year to save the chain, but it was met with a mix of support and criticism. Some netizens rooted for him but others called it a shameless publicity stunt.
In his post, Mr Chua said the brand was in danger of closing in the following two months as business had plummeted by 85 per cent over the past five months.
Business improved slightly after the appeal but quickly plunged again.
Mr Chua said the two remaining outlets are struggling too, with business at only 20 to 30 per cent of what it was during pre-Covid times.
He will decide at the end of this week if he will close the Pasir Ris branch. His contract with Downtown East will end in the middle of March.
But he plans to keep the Balestier Road flagship running. "Hopefully, things will pick up after Chinese New Year," he said.
Founder Bak Kut Teh also has overseas franchises in places like Indonesia, Vietnam, Taiwan and China.
While Mr Chua is not involved in their operations, he said that, except for Taiwan, most of them are not doing well.
"Indonesia is affected because of the lockdown. China is not doing well either. And one of the two outlets in Vietnam is closing at the end of this month," he said.

There are too many BKT restaurants in Sinkieland. BKT has somehow been marketed to (non-Muslim, especially Tiong) tourists as a must-try Sinkie cuisine, the Tourism Board and tour agencies might be behind this. Song Fa alone has opened many outlets in recent years. When the tourists aren't coming anymore, BKT restaurants that over-expanded their business inevitably suffer.

This shit doesn't age too well on hindsight eh....
This fucker stays in a nice big spacious 5 room hdb, while he enjoys fixed income from THREE other condos with his dad and sister. I will say.... they had their good run.

In response to Nigel’s plea on social media, netizens left numerous comments on the posts alleging that he lives a lavish lifestyle. “In good times they made tons of money, driving big European branded cars, living in big landed properties and being served by maids and subordinates,” one Facebook user remarked. Meanwhile, another added: “There’s something wrong if they still drive a Ferrari and expect others who don’t even own such cars or luxury watches to help them just because their business aren’t [sic] doing well.”
In response to 8days.sg’s enquiries, Nigel clarifies over the phone that he lives “in a five-room HDB flat in Hougang”, though he owns three other condominium properties jointly with his father and older sister. As for the netizen’s claim that he drives a Ferrari, Nigel says: “I don’t even own a wheel from Ferrari (laughs).” Instead he drives “a Japanese car”, a Toyota Vellfire which he also bought second-hand. I didn't reply [to the online comments] to defend myself, because it might make things worse, he shares.

BKT spice is easy to make, they are not using the products of other competitors. More likely that they are comparing the taste.

Maybe he didn't suck hard enough, that's why the business failed.

Founder still has 2 outlets in Singapore after closing 2 more. Business has not failed but may be failing.
