Largest fast-food restaurant chain closes 100s of locations
The nation's largest fast-food chain closed 100s of locations in 2024 and 1,000s since 2016.

The fast-food restaurant sector faced a difficult year in 2024, as several chains closed hundreds of locations and, in some cases, filed for bankruptcy protection.
The industry isn't getting any healthier in 2025 as several fast-food chains have revealed store closings this year as well.
