A&W at Ang Mo Kio Hub has closed as of April 20, 2025
Back in April 2019, fast food fans were thrilled by the return of A&W at Jewel Changi Airport. Since then, the beloved fast food chain has steadily expanded across Singapore, including its outlet at Ang Mo Kio Hub. But for Northies who've been getting their A&W fix there, here's some disappointing news – the outlet officially ceased operations this April.
Previously one of the largest A&W outlets in Singapore, the Ang Mo Kio branch could seat up to 140 diners. Despite its spacious layout, it regularly saw long queues, thanks to its well-loved menu. Signature items included the golden aroma chicken, A&W cream cheese beef burger, curly fries, and, of course, the classic root beer float.
Eagle-eyed shoppers spotted a sign at the store stating the outlet's closure on April 20, 2025.
While the closure of the AMK Hub outlet may come as a blow, there are still other outlets peppered around Singapore to satisfy your A&W cravings. According to the A&W website, these are the remaining outlets available:

UniCredit CEO sees Commerzbank bid as too expensive, slim chances of BPM deal
MILAN, June 11 (Reuters) - UniCredit ( opens new tab CEO Andrea Orcel said on Wednesday he currently saw little scope to advance his acquisition strategy, given that Commerzbank ( opens new tab had become too pricey and Italy was effectively blocking a takeover of Banco BPM ( opens new tab. Veteran investment banker Orcel arrived at UniCredit in 2021 vowing to use M&A to speed up growth, provided deals meet strict criteria that would allow him to retain the returns his shareholders have enjoyed thanks to high interest rates and tight cost control. Having driven a seven-fold increase in UniCredit's share price, Orcel last year moved on Commerzbank and smaller domestic peer Banco BPM, sparking angry reactions in both Berlin and Rome. On Tuesday, Germany's finance minister said a letter that Chancellor Friedrich Merz had written to Commerzbank staff to express opposition to UniCredit was "an important signal" about the government's stance. Speaking to CNBC television in Berlin after attending a financial conference organised there by Goldman Sachs, Orcel said Commerzbank's share price had anyway risen excessively, making a bid an unattractive option. "No, at this level, we would not see value for our investors [in an offer for Commerzbank]," he told CNBC. "We're very happy for the gain we've had on the 30% [stake] but we wouldn't see value for our investors," he said. UniCredit has acquired 28% of Commerzbank and Orcel said it expected by the end of the month to complete the steps that allow it to convert into equity the two-thirds of the stake which UniCredit still owns as derivatives. UniCredit would then decide whether to consolidate the stake and it would in that case want to "exercise the power" that comes with being the biggest shareholder. Orcel reiterated he had given himself until 2027 to take a final decision on the stake. As for Banco BPM, Orcel said the chances of completing the takeover offer were no higher than 20%. The conditions Rome has imposed to authorise the bid, using 'golden powers' it has to protect national security interests, are unclear and expose UniCredit to fines worth up to 20 billion euros, Orcel said. "The probability is 20% or less depending on whether the government clarifies or does not clarify those topics," he said.

Moelis CEO-designate joins Wall Street in signaling dealmaking rebound after tariff pause
June 10 (Reuters) - Moelis' (MC.N), opens new tab incoming CEO Navid Mahmoodzadegan told investors on Tuesday that he is optimistic about the dealmaking environment, as confidence returns following a pause in April triggered by U.S. tariff threats. "I'm optimistic. It definitely feels better and better each day ... The announcement in April, I think set us back a little bit in terms of the M&A environment," he said at the Morgan Stanley U.S. Financials Conference. Investor sentiment soured and stock markets slid after U.S. President Donald Trump's "Liberation Day" tariff threats, stalling risk appetite and slowing deal activity. Appetite for deals has since returned, with market participants and bankers once again seeing an opening for initial public offerings and signs of a pickup in M&A activity. "Everywhere I go, people want to transact. They want to lean into transactions, whether it's companies or private equity firms or capital providers," Mahmoodzadegan said. "We're seeing our clients push us to launch transactions, even if the environment isn't crystal clear." Earlier this week, Moelis said Ken Moelis would step down as CEO of the investment bank and hand the reins to Mahmoodzadegan, its co-founder and co-president. The succession marks a major step for the bank, which has been led solely by Ken Moelis since its founding in 2007. While succession at companies closely tied to founding CEOs can be challenging due to their outsized personal influence, Mahmoodzadegan said it was part of the "natural evolution of the firm." "I think Ken felt that even though he's fully active and will continue to be fully active with clients going forward ... this was a great opportunity at a great time to give more responsibility, not just to me, but to the next generation of bankers," Mahmoodzadegan added. The bank's deal pipeline currently is up from April and is as high as "it's ever been at the firm, or close to it," the CEO-designate said. The comments echo Morgan Stanley (MS.N), opens new tab CEO Ted Pick's expectation of a strong end of the quarter for the bank as dealmaking and the calendar for equity capital markets are picking up. Last week, top executives at the New York Stock Exchange (ICE.N), opens new tab and Nasdaq (NDAQ.O), opens new tab also said the IPO market is gaining momentum despite the Trump administration's rapidly shifting tariff policy, adding to the industry's optimism about a meaningful recovery.

Morgan Stanley CEO 'super pumped' as deal pipelines stay resilient
NEW YORK, June 10 (Reuters) - Morgan Stanley CEO Ted Pick told investors on Tuesday he expected the Wall Street bank to have a strong end to the quarter after U.S. tariff announcements paused activity in April. "I'm super pumped up about the businesses," Pick said at an annual financial conference hosted by his bank. Dealmaking and the calendar for equity capital markets are picking up, while deal discussions have stayed resilient and become more active in some areas, he added. Morgan Stanley is the lead underwriter of financial technology company Chime's initial public offering, which is expected to close later this week and raise as much as $832 million. The bank also led IPOs for Hinge Health, raising $437.3 million, and marketing tech firm MNTN, which raised $187.2 million, in May. "We had maximum tariff volatility through the first half of the quarter," he said, adding deals were paused through April and part of May. That has been changing over the last weeks. On M&A, Morgan Stanley advised financial firm TJC in the sale of Silvus Technologies to Motorola for $5 billion and AT&T on the $5.75 billion acquisition of Lumen Technologies' consumer fiber operations. Pick also cited the bank's role in advising Toyota's special board committee on the proposal to take the company private. The Morgan Stanley CEO said changes in the banking regulatory framework would be welcome, and that if rules to calculate the supplementary leverage ratio, known as SLR, change, the bank may be able to analyze potential acquisitions. Pick has been one of the most optimistic CEOs during market volatility after the announcement of tariffs. While presenting strong first-quarter profit in April, he said he was "cautiously optimistic that we won't go into recession". Morgan Stanley reported record equity trading revenue in the first quarter, with a 45% jump from a year earlier. Pick took the helm as CEO a year and a half ago, and last month also became chairman of the board as former Chairman and CEO James Gorman left the bank. Gorman had turned Morgan Stanley into a wealth management behemoth during his tenure, raising the bank's profits and turning results more predictable. Last March, Morgan Stanley began laying off 2,000 employees, around 3% of its global workforce, to improve operational efficiency. The bank followed decisions by Wall Street rivals to cut jobs to prepare for a potential downturn.
