Japanese-French patisserie Pantler, located at River Valley Road, is scheduled to close on 30 August after about 12 years in operation, according to The Straits Times and Channel NewsAsia (CNA). Both reports say the closure is set unless the business finds an appropriate buyer, person, or organisation to take over and continue the Pantler brand. The outlets describe Pantler as known for Japanese-French desserts, and both indicate that the company is pursuing a succession plan rather than ending the concept entirely. While neither source provides details on the identity of potential buyers or the terms of any transfer, they agree that the company’s immediate plan is to end operations on the stated date if no suitable takeover is secured. Until then, the closure timeline remains the same, with the possibility of continuity dependent on finding a successor capable of carrying forward Pantler’s story and offerings.
