Popular Company in Golden State to Have Mass Closures
The year of closures continues to roll on. Ever since the calendar has turned to 2024, it seems like it has been bad news for once-popular businesses and food chains. Many have announced that they have filed for bankruptcy in some form or fashion, with plenty also having announced the closures of locations across the country.

There is another company to add to the list that is set to have mass closures, and once again California will be feeling the effect as much, if not more than everyone else.
