Popular restaurant chain abruptly closes 15 locations: Here’s where

A popular restaurant chain abruptly closed 15 locations this week, according to reports.

A spokesperson for Bahama Breeze told USA Today shutdowns occurred in multiple states, including Florida, Illinois, Tennessee and Nevada. CNN reported the closures represent more than a third of Bahama Breeze’s current locations.

In a statement to USA Today, spokesperson Kiara Buckner said closures of the Darden-owned chain come after evaluations of restaurant performance across the country.

“Closing a restaurant is a difficult choice because it impacts our team members and guests. However, we believe this is the right decision because it will allow Bahama Breeze to focus on its highest performing restaurants and strengthen the brand’s overall performance,” Buckner said.

Bahama Breeze’s only Alabama location, located in Birmingham, had closed previously. The Caribbean-themed chain has just 29 restaurants remaining nationwide.
