Many brands will focus on stronger markets and newer store formats, with some locations potentially being repurposed or rebranded.

Major US restaurant chains shutter locations amid rising costs

Smoking Monkey Pizza has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy amid declining consumer demand affecting the U.S. pizza industry. The chain's parent company, TB Enterprises LLC, reported assets of up to $50,000 and liabilities between $100,000 and $500,000. Major chains like Pizza Hut and Domino's are also struggling, with Pizza Hut planning to close 250 underperforming locations and Domino's reporting weaker sales due to cautious spending.
