Eat This, Not That put together a list of 10 restaurant chains that have already closed locations or announced plans to close this year.
“A wide variety of chains—from popular cookie chain Crumbl to Tex-Mex spot Tijuana Flats—have closed multiple locations. In some cases, the closings are directly tied to financial difficulties and may even coincide with bankruptcy filings. However, not all closings are a sign that a brand is in trouble,” writes Eat This, Not That. “Some have cited other considerations, like the underperformance of specific stores. Others may simultaneously announce a slew of new openings, a signal the chain is actually growing even as it shutters a handful of locations. Meanwhile, still other restaurant chains have closed suddenly and without warning, leaving customers and even employees wondering what went wrong.”
Here’s the rundown
1) Cracker Barrel
2) Applebee’s
3) TGI Fridays
4) Denny’s
5) Boston Market
6) Mod Pizza
7) PDQ
8) Outback Steakhouse
9) Hardee’s
10) Tijuana Flats
