East Coast Park McDonald's to close its doors

Opened on Jan 20, 1982, the Marine Cove outlet was the first McDonald’s in Singapore to offer a drive-in service counter, and operate round-the-clock. It will close its doors at the stroke of midnight today.

The much loved hang-out place for old and young alike is closing due to its landlord, the National Parks Board, redevelopment plans in the area, a local news channel reported.

It is moving to another location some 1.5km away, to East Coast Seafood Centre, said a McDonald's spokesperson.

To mark its closure and more than 30 years of service to over 25 million customers, the branch held a fun walk for customers and staff at 8.45am.

Games and other activities will also be played later today.

In a thank you gesture to their supporters over the years, McDonald's is giving a free Blueberry Melts with every Extra Value Meal.

The offer is only available at McDonald's East Coast Park branch, and will be valid from March 12 to 18, after breakfast hours.
