Restaurants closing in 2024

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,

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

May 26, 12:36am

Good riddance to all those jobs too?

May 26, 4:48am

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

May 26, 6:19am

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

May 26, 9:25am

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

May 26, 4:06pm

Let’s be honest, you care about this only because you think it makes Biden

May 26, 8:24pm

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

May 26, 8:35pm

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

May 26, 11:10pm

Uh, Biden does plenty to look bad on his own

You eat out a ton? Where?

May 26, 8:22am

Like specifically? Went to a pizza place called Blanca tonight and a Turkish

May 26, 11:46am

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

Spiff

May 26, 11:51am

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

ManicBlue

The total number of restaurants is increasing

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

XORCoug

May 26, 6:36am

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

DubuMfalme

May 26, 6:41am

There are more people employed at restaurants than just servers.

XORCoug

May 26, 6:46am

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

DubuMfalme

May 26, 6:54am

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

XORCoug

May 26, 7:12am

Maybe I missed the point of the thread.

DubuMfalme

May 26, 7:26am

Cambo is not a fan of empathy

byuTX

May 26, 8:23am

How is unemployment measured? The number seems low.

Colorado

May 26, 7:51am

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

ManicBlue

May 26, 11:21am

Applebee's is indeed the worst

Chains close restaurants all the time.

Didn't even know Joe's Crab Shack was still going. Loved that place as a kid

Just looked up locations...one in Sandy apparently. Anybody know if that's on the chopping block? Might have to go for a

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

AF Cougar

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

Squirt

May 26, 5:59am

This should absolutely shock all of us

bigjohn

May 26, 6:12am

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

DubuMfalme

May 26, 6:37am

What isn’t normal in a capitalistic economy

bigjohn

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

DubuMfalme

May 26, 7:39am

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.

DubuMfalme

May 26, 8:13am

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

NYC and Japan

May 26, 11:24pm

Yes until the last two years when it has been bonkers

lilpenny

May 27, 2:58am

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

NYC and Japan

Not one single one of those shocks me in the least. What’s shocking is your

These aren’t small business restaurants, they’re huge chains.

Dennys was replaced by raising canes, outback just built a new bldg

bald man

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

BlackBart

May 26, 6:55am

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

Haysom Till

It does feel like some of it is restructuring

Love mod pizza but it priced us out.

My favorite little New York pizza joint. How sad.

I’ve liked Red Lobster. Fudruckers too, most of the other places are just
