Carrabba’s
What began as a family restaurant in 1986 soon transformed into a restaurant sensation after merging with Outback Steakhouse. They changed their name to Bloomin’ Brands and began opening more domestic and international locations. There are many restaurants under Bloomin’ Brands, but Carrabas is the one with the most branch closures.
Starbucks
When you think of Starbucks, ‘restaurant’ might not be the word that comes to mind. However, don’t forget that the company sells other foods as well as coffee. The coffee giant made a surprising announcement back in 2018, saying it would shut down 150 locations across the U.S. in order to optimize their current market. These closures are three times more than the average rate for Starbucks.
