Denny’s Corporation announced plans to close 150 underperforming restaurants by the end of 2025 as part of a strategic initiative to strengthen its financial performance and prepare for future growth. The decision was disclosed during an earnings call on Oct. 22, where company executives discussed third-quarter results and outlined their vision for the brand’s evolution.
Despite plans to open 30 to 40 new restaurants—including 12 to 16 of its sister brand Keke’s Breakfast Cafe locations—the company anticipates a net decline of 45 to 55 restaurants, according to a press release.
