So, given that, which popular burger chain with locations in Maine has announced closures across the country?

Red Robin is considering closing around 70 underperforming locations as it works to pay off debt. In 2024, the company reported $1.25 billion in revenue, which was $54.5 million less than in 2023.

Red Robin plans to close most of its underperforming locations over the next five years as their leases expire.

In 2025, the company expects to shut down 10 to 15 restaurants. Despite lower-than-expected financial results in 2024, Red Robin's CEO believes improvements to the guest experience will help the brand reach its full potential.
