After announcing plans to close 36 sites overall, an unexpected restaurant now abruptly closes 7 locations in one state.
As part of its continuous expansion plan, TGI Fridays is closing seven of its locations in a single state.
This comes after, according to The Sun, the business abruptly closed 36 sites in 12 states at the start of the year.
In the upcoming weeks, the restaurant business will close seven of its sites around the state of New Jersey.
For the last time, Fridays will welcome hungry diners to its Brick location today.
“We see a bright future for TGI Fridays as we continue along our path of transformation to revitalize the Fridays brand and implement a long-term growth strategy,” the company’s CEO, Weldon Spangler, stated earlier this week.
“We are in a significant moment that will enable us to pursue unending development, growth, and innovation in order to continue providing our fans with “That Fridays Feeling,” which they have grown to love.”
According to the company website, TGI Fridays had roughly 270 locations in the US prior to the closures.
The firm had earlier released a statement saying, “As part of the store closures, TGI Fridays is offering more than 1,000 transfer opportunities, which represents over 80% of total impacted employees.”
In the release, US President and Chief Operating Officer Ray Risley stated, “Our top priority has always been providing a superior experience for each and every TGI Fridays guest. We’ve identified opportunities to optimize and streamline our operations to ensure we are best positioned to meet – and exceed – on that brand promise.
Former CEO Ray Blanchette, a seasoned investor, purchased eight additional locations and will now own the restaurants that were previously held by the company.
The announcement of Weldon Spangler’s appointment as CEO and other significant changes to the brand’s leadership coincide with the sale.
“We see a bright future for TGI Fridays as we continue along our path of transformation to revitalize the Fridays brand and implement a long-term growth strategy,” Spangler said in a statement.
