Subway
Even Subway hasn’t been immune to restaurants closing over the past few years. In 2018 alone, Subway closed a whopping 1,100 branches in the United States. In 2019, there were more closures as well. Don’t despair, however. Subway is still the largest chain restaurant in the world. The company is purposely keeping the most profitable branches open.

Chipotle
In 2019, Chipotle has shut down 50 different locations. Despite the chain becoming more popular, some heavy setbacks over the past few years have put a dent in the company’s reputation. A few years ago, the restaurant dealt with some bad publicity: customers have gotten sick with E. coli during two outbreaks that were connected to the food they had eaten at Chipotle. In 2019, a cyber-attack left customers’ personal information at risk. Still, there are over 150 new branched that opened in 2019, so something must be going right.
