I see many abandoned fast food restaurants, gas stations and banks in the OH/IN/KY area. A local Hooters even closed.
It's getting scary bad with no end in sight!

I stopped eating at most fast food places once filthy people from other countries started owning them. Know what I mean?

Some of my favorite steak houses are apparently in trouble! I had no idea.

Many of the companies overbuilt. Many locations are in marginal areas, now those marginal areas aren’t profitable.

I read an article yesterday where it said that large chains were cutting massively because of Obamacare. One FF chain was quoted as cutting from 70 employees per site to 50.

Pretty scary times. Although the Applebee’s here is so crappy I would pay to shut it down, I DO usually like Arby’s and Wendy’s. And Domino’s Brooklyn pizza.

I don’t do fast food, haven’t in years.
Way too greasy and delicious! :)

Taking your lunch to work and eating dinner at home are simple things you can do to save a lot of money.
Given how long the economy has been down, it’s not surprising restaruants are hurting.

People are having a difficult time putting groceries in the fridge. I know we eat out on rare occasion. Our town use to have two Pizza Huts... both went under. On Friday or Saturday, you would see all sorts of pizza delivery cars in our neighborhood. You see them rarely now. Yep, things are bad.

People are home eating rice they have saved up from Wal Mart. Obama is having great success in his mission to destroy the USA. We are defenseless. The GOPS have cut and run for the hills leaving the country open for plunder.

Wendy's hasn't been the same since Dave passed away. Now they're getting squeezed between the bottom-rung places like McDonalds and a number of newer, higher-quality burger joints such as Five Guys'.
As for Ruth's Chris, I suspect they're a victim of their own success (and expansion). Back when that chain was just a few restaurants, those locations would've ensured enough business to keep the doors open even in bad times.

It’s interesting that since the end of 2008, I’ve never seen the phrase “McJobs” used in the MSM.

I just remember Domino’s Pizza as having pizza flavoured cardboard crusts.

Discretionary spending is the first to go, and restaurants are heavily dependent on that.

Probably time for people who love the country to step in and get this nightmare Obama out of the WH. He will ruin the wholee place before 2012.
Enough is enough.

Hmmm...Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse in danger of going under. We went there for our daughters 21st birthday, there were six of us and cost hubby $638! Waaay too expensive! He went white as he paid the bill! :)

I thought they were going under because of how bad their food sucks and how no one wants to eat stuff made by the foreigners who work there that you can't understand.
(At least that's how it is with me and Wendy's.)
