Which Outback Steakhouses are closing? Two have shut down in Ohio, including Akron's
Two Outback Steakhouse locations in Ohio are among 41 across the country that Bloomin' Brands, the restaurant's corporate parent, is closing as it weighs underperforming units, according to Nation's Restaurant News.
Outback restaurants in Montrose (near Akron) and Findlay have been removed from Outback's website, compared to an older, archived version.
“The majority of these restaurants were older assets with leases from the ‘90s and early 2000s," said David Deno, CEO of the Tampa, Fla.-based casual-dining company, which also owns the Bonefish Grill, Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar and fast-casual Aussie Grill brands, as reported by Nation's Restaurant News.
A complete list of closures was not released, but local media reports show Outback locations in New Hampshire, Pennsylvania and Hawaii have closed, along with Bonefish Grill locations in New Jersey and Carrabba's locations in New York.
