Subway
A worldwide favorite, Subway is one successful company that has had some closures over its lifetime. Just in 2018, Subway shut down 1,000 branched in the United States. Unfortunately, in 2019, there were more closures. Despite all that, Subway is still the biggest chain restaurant in the world.
Chipotle
In 2019, Chipotle closed more than 50 branches. However, the chain is actually becoming more popular. It’s gone through a few serious setbacks in the last few years which dented the company’s reputation. A few years back, customers got sick with E. coli which were linked to the food they ate at Chipotle. Then, in 2019, a cyber-attack allowed personal details of customers to be exposed. Still, in 2019, the company managed to open over 150 new branches so they must be doing something right.
