Bahama Breeze Restaurants Close: Darden Shuts Down Fourteen Locations, Including Sanford and Kissimmee Sites
Darden Restaurants, the parent company of Bahama Breeze, has closed fourteen locations, including the Sanford and Kissimmee sites. The closures were due to the restaurants no longer being a strategic priority. The company plans to sell or convert the remaining fourteen locations over the next twelve to eighteen months. Employees at the Sanford location were caught off guard when they learned the closure would happen sooner than expected, with the Kissimmee location closing on the same day. Despite the closures, Darden has relocated full management teams and placed a significant portion of hourly staff into new roles. The restaurant industry faces challenges with increased costs and thin profit margins, but experts predict a healthy year with four point eight percent sales growth expected as inflation eases.
