Darden Restaurants recently closed 15 Bahama Breeze locations, reducing the total to 29, with two closures in Broward County, Florida. The decision was part of an evaluation to prioritize the chain's successful establishments and strengthen brand performance. While there were no immediate layoffs reported in Florida, job losses occurred at the only Bahama Breeze in Massachusetts. The closures affect multiple states, and the remaining South Florida locations are in Pembroke Pines and Miami, showcasing the chain's Caribbean-inspired menu amidst ongoing operational adjustments.
The closures reduce the number of active Bahama Breeze locations from 44 to 29, allowing the chain to focus on its highest-performing restaurants.
"Closing a restaurant is a difficult choice because it impacts our team members and guests, but we believe this is the right decision for the brand's performance."
