For some, September indicates the end of summer and the welcoming of fall season.
For us, September indicates the end of Chiuโs journey as an eatery, as we will be closing our doors permanently by 30 September 2023.
The heart is definitely a heavy one but do trust us that this has not been an easy decision to make. We have been pondering this idea for a long time, often times we decided to give it more time because of both our employees and also customers who have been actively supporting us since 2017.
However, the reality is that due to massive cost inflation after the pandemic and inevitable adjustments in pricing, we are unable to provide the best value for our customers anymore, even though we've tried our best to absorb some of the extra costs.
All things in life will eventually come to an end, it is a shame that we were not able to stay longer. Despite all that, we are grateful for each and everyone of you who have supported and also those we have connected with along this journey. The connection with Chiuโs may be ending, but we will definitely reconnect one way or another because hey, a part of us will still be at .coffee if you need good coffee & matcha. ๐
The best takeaway from running Chiuโs you asked? It's definitely the privilege and chance to grow and bond with all of you. And of course, the sense of fulfillment when we get to feed all your hungry tummies. ๐ฅน๐ฅน
If you have the opportunity, do drop by and say hi for one last time for your last Chiu's Pesto Chicken Spaghetti or Queen of Hearts waffle. If you donโt have the opportunity to do so, feel free to share with us any happy and memorable memories you've had at Chiuโs. ๐ฅฐ
