"Multiple Outback Steakhouse, Carrabba's, and Bonefish Grill Locations to Close Amid Company Restructuring"
Bloomin’ Brands, the parent company of Outback Steakhouse, Carrabba’s, Bonefish Grill, and Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse and Wine Bar, has announced the closure of 41 underperforming restaurants due to slowing sales and shrinking customer traffic. The closures will affect locations across the United States, with some already shuttered, and employees will have the opportunity to transfer to open positions at other restaurants or receive severance. Despite the closures, the company plans to open new restaurants with redesigned layouts in the coming year.
