The plan isn’t immediate—these shutdowns will likely happen over the next several years as leases expire. The first wave of closures, affecting 10 to 15 locations, could begin in 2025.
The company says the decision is part of a broader effort to stabilize operations after struggling with rising costs and shifting consumer habits. "While our improvement has been substantial, we have not yet reached the potential of our iconic brand and expect to drive further traffic improvements in 2025," CEO G.J. Hart said in a statement.
