Whether you live in Massachusetts or anywhere throughout the country you'vre most likely noticed the number of restaurant closures that have occurred over the past few years. Big chains like Ninety Nine, Denny's, Starbucks, Wendy's, Chili's, Papa John's, and more have all shuttered underperforming locations.

People can't afford to eat out as they once did. In addition, folks are choosing to opt for cheaper options. Thus, these chains have had to trim in areas where their restaurants aren't performing well.

Outback Steakhouse Has Seen Numerous Closures in Recent Months

One chain eatery that has shut down nearly two dozen locations is Outback Steakhouse. Multiple media outlets have reported that Bloomin' Brands (which is the parent company of Outback, Bonefish Grill, and Carrabba's Italian Grill) noted that the closures are part of the company's restructuring model and more closures are still to come over the next few years. It's pretty simple. Bloomin' Brands needs to grow to survive. Trimming the fat is one of the ways to accomplish this goal.
