Cracker Barrel
With 664 locations across the country, Cracker Barrel announced it will cut several stores and close down a few of its locations but not the flagship locations. Owners announced they will close down all food-and-entertainment locations; Punch Bowl Social (19 of them) of which none are located in the State of New York. Since the pandemic started, customers are not allowed to sit inside brick and mortar locations and must order delivery or take out, which harmed businesses and brought this chain to act drastically in order to stay on their feet.

HomeTown Buffet
When HomeTown Buffet was in “full swing,” they had over 250 restaurants, with its mother company being Ovation Brands. However, in recent times, the restaurant was purchased by Food Management Partners, Inc. Ovations Brands also runs Ryan’s Grill, Old Country Buffet, Tahoe Joe’s, and Furr’s and has been in operation for over 28 years. Being run under the new company, we can say the restaurant has dealt with a lot as they moved from running 250 branches to now only having 33 open.
