A Complete List Of 500 Chain Restaurant Locations That Have Closed This Year

  • Due to the coronavirus pandemic, many chain restaurant locations are closing.
  • Check out a list of the restaurants that have announced closures.
  • Two restaurant chains prove that buffets may have a hard time surviving.

 

Many chain restaurants were already struggling before the coronavirus pandemic. When the pandemic began and restaurants were ordered to shut down, many have been forced to close. Even though now some dining rooms are reopening around the country, it may be too late. There are reportedly about 500 locations of different chain restaurants closing.

Many chain restaurants are franchises and many business owners are deciding to close after struggling for months. Even though some restaurants are reopening, there are strict guidelines in place. They will not be able to serve as many customers are before. Also, the food production chain has been disrupted and some food prices are at an all-time high. Let’s find out which restaurant chain locations are closing for good.
