T.G.I. Friday’s
T.G.I. Friday’s was founded in New York City in 1965. Apparently, it was opened as a way to offer young people a space to get together. The target consumer base is people in their 20s and 30s looking for somewhere to meet and mingle. The popularity of the chain is now going down among members of this age group, unfortunately. In 2018 and 2019, the restaurant chain shut down branches in Tallahassee, Washington DC, and Staten Island. What makes it even worse is that these are considered key locations.
Papa Murphy’s
Murphy’s has offered all of us a solution to our cold pizza deliveries. The company started the take-and-bake method. This involves customers retrieving the pizza from the window, bringing it home, and baking it in their own kitchen. Even though this sounds like a great idea, the company decided to shut down more than 60 locations all over the United States in 2018 and 2019.
