Introduction

A Clay, New York Outback Steakhouse restaurant, in operation for over 20 years, has permanently closed.

The location was the last Outback Steakhouse restaurant in Clay.

Firstly, per ScrapeHero.com's most recently-updated location count of national Outback Steakhouse restaurants: There are 678 Outback Steakhouse restaurants in the United States as of August 14, 2024. The state and territory with the most number of Outback Steakhouse locations in the US is Florida, with 95 restaurants, which is about 14% of all Outback Steakhouse restaurants in the US.

According to an August 27 report from The-Sun.com, the upstate restaurant permanently closed August 25 over a lease issue.

As excerpted from the report: The Australian-themed chain's location had a lease nearing expiration, a company spokesperson shared with a local outlet. “Some employees will have the opportunity to transfer to a sister restaurant and all will receive a severance package," said the spokesperson.

There has yet to be any official announcement as to a replacement entity for the location.
