These Popular Fast-Food Chains May Be Closing Their Doors for Good

Souplantation

The name of this establishment alone is enough to shutter its doors forever. Souplantation, or Sweet Tomatoes, was an all-you-can-eat buffet-style restaurant. The company closed temporarily in March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. By May, the closure had been made permanent.

Outback Steakhouse

This Australian-themed restaurant has over 1,000 throughout 23 countries around the world. Although their global presence means they won't be going anywhere anytime soon, they still closed down 43 branches this year alone. A steady decline in revenue for subsidiaries of Bloomin' Brands means that more closures are most likely on the horizon.
