Some of that is clickbait. Maybe all of it.

Closing a location or 10 isn’t a risk of closing the chain.



Yah...I don't see how Starbucks is disappearing anytime soon

Some of those old concepts need to die

The franchisee likely was undercapitalized and went bust when they hit a short term problem.

There are a lot of chains around here which have gone bust and come back several times such as Pizza Hut, Hardee’s, Captain D’s, etc, which are surviving elsewhere but can’t seem to stick here.


Pizza Hut was explicitly due to the franchisee having money trouble and getting so far behind with Pizza Hut corporate that they shut down all his locations, left the region dead for few years, then only returned with delivery / carry out locations, no sit downs.

So we're going to revert back to the 50s and 60s where home cooking was the rage? I'm good with that.

I tried to find one that would be an actual loss, but couldn't.

Regardless, that story is bullshite, click bait type crap and most of those will be around for years and years.

Might have been easier to list the ones not disappearing.

That list is full of shite. Bojangles may have closed down elsewhere. But here in SC and NC they are BOOMING.

I thought they filed for bankruptcy several years ago. I like their breakfast but can't take the gut grenades they call a burger.

You might think that Chilis would be dead but then they built a new state of the art one near me on a very expensive piece of real estate....so I guess they are still around.

Was hoping they would build something cool and not a fricking Chilis

You’re posting a clickbait article in an OP?

The one near me is on life support.

They were halfassed pre-Covid and have slashed their store hours to the bone to focus on dinner.


Honestly I thought they were closed because enough people got tired of them.

And these chains have resources and credit to back them up. Just like the small retail, individually owned restaurants are largely gone due to COVID.

Between firing those that will work and giving money to those who wont work, plus cutting off supply lines, something has to give.
