Swee Heng Introduces More Toast & Roll Locations Islandwide
Bringing a Fresh Concept to Familiar Neighbourhoods
Initially launched to provide a new experience distinct from Swee Heng's existing brands like Swee Heng 1989 Classic, Toast & Roll has grown steadily since its debut. The company has opened outlets at Jurong Point, Oasis Terraces, Tampines MRT, Novena Square, and Bedok Mall. This year, upcoming locations are set to open at The LINQ @ Beauty World, Lentor Modern, West Mall, and Heartland Mall Kovan.
The decision to expand Toast & Roll stems from evolving consumer preferences, particularly a demand for bakery products that are not only high in quality but also lifestyle-oriented and convenient. With a broadened menu focusing on toasts and cake rolls but complemented by croissants, Danish pastries, tarts, and festive exclusives, the brand looks to tap into a growing appetite for artisanal, portable baked goods with a modern twist.
'Toast & Roll is perfectly positioned to meet these expectations, especially with our Research and Development team constantly innovating and adapting to global influences,' shared a spokesperson from Swee Heng Group. 'This growth journey allows us to stay ahead of consumer trends and present new ideas in a form that's exciting, modern, and highly relatable.'
Creating Value for All Stakeholders
However, the value does not end with the customer. This retail expansion is also slated to create opportunities for employees through internal mobility, cross-training, and leadership development across outlets. For stakeholders, the growth supports long-term brand equity by enhancing visibility and improving the innovation pipeline. Each new outlet contributes to the company's operational scale, helping Swee Heng respond quickly to market changes while ensuring consistency across service and quality.
New Loyalty App to Enhance Customer Experience
Alongside this broader retail expansion, Swee Heng is also preparing to launch a new loyalty app that will integrate rewards and payment functions across all brands within the Group. Designed to streamline the customer experience, the app will allow users to earn and redeem points, make in-app payments, and purchase or gift vouchers.
By offering these functions on a single platform, the brand aims to enhance convenience while encouraging greater engagement across outlets, including Toast & Roll. It also reflects Swee Heng's ongoing efforts to strengthen its digital presence and provide customers with a more seamless and connected way to interact with its offerings.
Positioning for Long-Term Growth
Despite facing challenges such as location scouting, recruitment, and operational alignment, Swee Heng has leveraged its experience and infrastructure to support a smooth rollout of the new Toast & Roll outlets.
A spokesperson for the company noted, 'Toast & Roll is a strong example of our ability to move beyond traditional formats and launch bold, differentiated concepts that still align with our heritage and quality standards. Its success and expansion reinforce our position as a brand builder with an innovative edge.'
By developing a brand that both complements and refreshes its core identity, Swee Heng aims to continue shaping bakery trends in Singapore while extending its market presence and industry relevance.
Established in 1989 with its first outlet at Jurong Estate, Swee Heng Bakery is the pioneer brand under the Swee Heng Group. Over the past three decades, it has grown into a familiar household name with over 35 outlets islandwide, offering a wide range of whole cakes for all occasions. The brand is known for its commitment to quality and affordability, making it a trusted choice for customers seeking a

Carlsberg half-year profits miss expectations, warns of tough year
LONDON/COPENHAGEN: Carlsberg missed half-year profit and volume forecasts on Thursday and warned it did not expect the consumer environment to improve in the rest of 2025, sending the Danish brewer's shares down almost 7% in early trading. The latest report by the world's third-largest brewer - behind Anheuser-Busch InBev and Heineken - was received with similar pessimism to those of its rivals in recent weeks as investors sent shares declining. While Carlsberg, which makes Kronenbourg 1664, Tuborg and Somersby, raised the bottom end of its annual profit guidance, that did not offset slower-than-expected first-half operating profit growth of 2.3%, and a 1.7% decline in volumes. CEO Jacob Aarup-Andersen said on a media call that the brewer's performance was strong in a difficult year, and that it anticipated slightly better volume growth in the second half. Still, he wasn't optimistic on consumer spending, which was being reined in by price increases and uncertainty, adding: "There is no indication as we move into the second half that that's going to change." Big brewers have been battling reduced demand, the impact of U.S. tariffs and poor weather, and their weak performance or volume expectations have left investors fretting over growth prospects. Carlsberg's shares were down 5.8%, after earlier falling as much as 6.7%, its steepest decline since July 2024. Haider Anjum, analyst from Jyske Bank, said he was surprised by the share price reaction, given Carlsberg's relatively strong performance. But Laurence Whyatt, analyst at Barclays, said the market had been "punishing volume misses" like Carlsberg's, which was driven by a weaker-than-expected performance in Asia. OPTIMISM FADES As well as temporary challenges, brewers also face questions around longer-term shifts, such as some consumers cutting back on alcohol for health reasons. Altogether, these issues have dampened earlier optimism around the sector. Carlsberg had also pledged to deliver revenue growth of between 4% and 6% annually each year until 2027, but Aarup-Andersen told investors on a call that in a year like 2025, that may not be "fully realistic." While it narrowed its expectations for annual operating profit growth to 3% to 5%, compared with 1% to 5% before, analysts said they were already expecting 4%. ($1 = 6.3777 Danish crowns) - Reuters
