Denny’s says it’s closing 150 of its lowest-performing restaurants in an effort to turn around the brand’s flagging sales. About half of the closures will happen this year and the rest in 2025. The company made the announcement during a meeting with investors Tuesday. The locations weren’t revealed, but the restaurants represent around 10% of Denny’s total. Denny’s said family dining — the category in which it competes — has lost the most customer traffic since 2020. But the company said it has bright spots. A value menu boosted sales in its most recent quarter, and it’s also seeing growth in its delivery-only brands like Banda Burrito.
