Popular National Chain Warns of Possible Closures in Minnesota

If you are a fan of eating an endless amount of french fries, I've got a bit of sad news for you today. A National restaurant chain in the United States that has several locations in Minnesota, just announced that 70 locations are closing.

This closing news comes just weeks after another large National chain, Joann Fabrics, shared with the world that all of its locations were closing. The week prior to this news, the public was told that 533 Joann Fabrics locations would shutter for good including 12 in Minnesota. To say that the news of all stores closing was a shock is an understatement.

About the same time, another National craft retailer store, Hobby Lobby, closed up shop for good at one location in Minnesota.
