Once popular restaurant chain has closed 770 locations, only 174 left

A once popular restaurant chain has closed 770 locations, leaving only 174 remaining. This significant reduction is driven by rising gas prices and continued inflation, which have negatively impacted menu prices. As a result, diners are opting to stay home or cut back on their spending. These economic factors have forced the chain to scale down its operations drastically to adapt to the changing habits of consumers facing increased living costs.
