Denny’s will close 70 to 90 restaurants this year as a part of their strategic plan to slash underperforming locations.
The chain announced in October that they will be cutting 150 restaurants by the end of the 2025 fiscal year. In its October report, Denny’s said it planned to close 50 locations by the end of 2024 and the other 100 in 2025.
The fourth-quarter report released Wednesday said 30 locations were closed in the last quarter, with 88 locations overall closed last year.
The report did not mention which restaurants would close this year.
Denny’s has been in business for over 70 years. There are currently 1,326 locations nationwide with 354 locations in California, according to its website.
The Press Democrat contacted Denny’s but they did not respond to immediate request for comment.
Denny’s announcement comes on the heels of several other chains that announced mass closures.
Party City said in a December release it will close all 700 stores nationally after mounting financial pressures.
Retail giant Macy’s announced last year it plans on closing 150 underperforming stores in three years.
Kohl’s also said in January it will shut 27 stores.
