Following closures from fast-food joints like Pizza Hut and sit-down restaurants like Red Lobster, another chain is saying farewell to several locations of its own.
Buca di Beppo, the Orlando-based Italian restaurant chain known for its family-style portions and over-the-top decor, has closed 13 underperforming locations this week.
"While Buca regrets having to take this difficult action, these restaurants were unable to recover from the damage caused by the pandemic and other market pressures," a brand representative said in a statement shared with Eat This, Not That! "Buca di Beppo remains open in 44 locations and looks forward to continuing to serve its customers who have made Buca part of their traditions and celebrations for many years."
