I have never enjoyed anything they serve, but I would rather see them open and serving stuff.

I much prefer their spaghetti and meatballs over their pizza.

Pizza peddlers freed from “job lock”. All hail freedom fighters KingHussein and house jester Pelosi.

Mall food. Never good pizza. On Long Island where Sbarros originated and I live, there are so many REAL pizzareas around as to make sbarros under patronized EXCEPT for when one spends hours at a mall and you become famished. Which is the only time I have eaten there.

As I no longer shop malls, I no longer eat at malls. I am admittedly an italian food snob. But wish all business, save the crony capitalist zer0 lovers, succeed and bring back the economy from the current malaise we are thrust into by this Marxist regime.

Sbarro, the Italian restaurant chain that’s a fixture in mall food courts
And therein lies the problem. The malls have increasingly become unsafe as more and more of the EBT crowd takes over.
Throw in the "$200 sneaker" crowd violence and other assorted mob violence and it's a real jungle out there.

The stuff is awful, but it’s even worse that they have to close when they are providing jobs and people are willing buy it.

Twenty-five years ago, their food was...OK.

I tried their pizza at a rest stop on I-95 a few years ago.

Total crap.

>> to improve the company’s profitability.

>> closings affect underperforming company-owned stores

Underperforming is not the same thing as “losing money”.

Close businesses to increase profitability?

Heh. At least some folks understand the concept of margin.

Haven’t eaten at as barrows in years. The food is awful.

Newer better executed restaurant concepts are making a killing.

Look at Chipotle, Buffalo WWs, most of Dardens’s brands, etc.

Lol....the first question I had was “is their food any good?” So thanks to all of those who let me know IT’S CRAP!!!

It always looked inserting but I was never compelled to eat there. Suffice to say no one ever told me “oh you have to try this!”

A McDonald's in a mall near me closed recently. The story was that McDonald's could no longer make the rent — allegedly around $15,000 a month. That's a lot of money for a cubby hole in a food court.

Part of the problem is the economy — people aren't spending the money they used to. They worry that Obamacare will cost them a fortune and that sooner or later, the socialists will be confiscating their savings, investments and retirement funds.

But at the same time, these fancy malls have jacked up the rent for the privilege of locating a business there. As a result, a number of retailers are leaving the malls for cheaper alternatives. Some malls have a high number of empty retail spaces.

maybe it’s because they couldn’t sell a large enough soda to wash down the grease?

They did in a pinch. I hate to see any business go under, except those that supported Obama.

They aren’t closing because the economy sucks( and it does) They are closing because their pizza sucks.

I went to Sbarro’s last night. I asked if they are safe and they are…Thank God! Of course in Maryland, you have to stand in line for a while to get your food so of course I should have known it was safe, but having acknowledgement is great. What is funny is that in Annapolis Mall, we have two of them…one in the food court and one in a sit down type all within the same place. Funny that both will survive. I feel bad for the areas that aren’t making it. I wonder what these cities and states need to do to recover.
