Restaurant chain closes one third of its locations with no notice
Fans of the casual sit-down dining brand were shocked to find notes on store doors when they arrived to eat.
There's nothing worse than pulling up to one of your go-to restaurants spots, only to find the dreaded door sign saying that this location has closed.
It may not be your favorite restaurant, but it's someplace you visit regularly. It's the right combination of close to where you live, affordable, and offers good food.

It's not a special-occasion restaurant. Instead, it's a regular place where you eat a few times a month or maybe even a little more often.
Red Lobster, Hooters, and TGI Fridays, three chains that closed dozens of locations after Chapter 11 bankruptcy filings, all fit that bill for different people. Maybe Hooters was your place for NFL football or UFC fights, and perhaps TGI Fridays was your regular Thursday-night after-work spot.
