look bad.

Most of those have terrible food, so not really surprising they are closing.

I still eat out occasionally. I'm mostly disappointed by the quantity going down

True. Some of these places half cook the food then ship it out to the stores,

Is there any reference out there to compare to prior year closings?

Haven’t eaten at one of those in years. And I eat out a ton. Good riddance
HugoStiglitz

Good riddance to all those jobs too?

I’m sure there are plenty of other places opening up in their absence.

Dismissive when working people lose jobs is not a good look.

Especially for a liberal, what’s up with that?

You know Biden looks bad for many other reasons, too many to count.

Yea, yet still better than the felon that wants to terminate the Constitution.

Uh, Biden does plenty to look bad on his own

You eat out a ton? Where?

Aren't you living on another continent? So that would makes sense.

No loss for me. We don't go to any of those restaurants. Also, why are not ALL Applebee's closing? They're the worst

The total number of restaurants is increasing

Maybe not for you, but these are real job losses that affect real families.

Unemployment is 3.9%, and these aren't family-supporting jobs, anyway.
DubuMfalme

There are more people employed at restaurants than just servers.
XORCoug

Unemployment is 3.9%, and more restaurants are opening than closing.

Policy? All I said was we should have a little empathy for those losing jobs.

Maybe I missed the point of the thread.

How is unemployment measured? The number seems low.

and just maybe, they'll end up with even better jobs. How do you know for certain? smh

Applebee's is indeed the worst

Chains close restaurants all the time.

There was one in Orem near the University mall. Is it gone?

Been gone for awhile. There’s a Cajun seafood place there now. Pier something but haven’t been to it.

Inflation equals less discretionary income equals less eating out

This should absolutely shock all of us

Normal in a capitalist economy. See Blockbuster, Borders, A&W, Kmart, etc.

The overall number of restaurants in the U.S. increased last year.

Number of restaurants ≠ number of employed.
John Doe
May 26, 8:09am
No, it doesn't, but restaurant employees increased by 300,000 in 2023.

Ummm… inflation is and has been at historically average to low. Nothing compared

Not at all bonkers when compared to parts of the 70s, 80s or much of US history.

Less volume going through those locations due to a steady decrease of disposable
BlackBart

And yet plenty of newer chains are opening locations all over the place.
DubuMfalme
May 26, 7:13am
Those restaurants mostly suck. Denny’s is trash. Many of the others are so over priced and mid food, they should shut
