The restaurant chain's CEO, W. Craig Barber, issued a statement on the closings.

"We sincerely appreciate our loyal guests who have visited us ... while also being deeply grateful for the outstanding work of our operating team. We encourage our customers to visit us at any of our other restaurants across the Midwest, including several in Ohio."
