Denny's Closes Multiple Locations and Faces Incident in Highland Heights
Denny's has closed several locations, including a restaurant in Santa Rosa, as part of a transition under new private ownership following a $620 million acquisition by TriArtisan Capital Advisors, Treville Capital, and Yadav Enterprises, announced on November 3. The closure is part of a broader strategic plan to shut down up to 150 underperforming stores by the end of 2025. In Barrie, Canada, Denny's confirmed the long-term closure of its location. Other closed locations include Coddingtown, Ukiah (2023, to be replaced by Habit Burger Grill), and Napa (2022). However, Denny's restaurants in Vallejo, Fairfield, and Cordelia remain open. Denny's stock rose 47% following the sale announcement. In a separate incident, an angry couple at a Denny's in Highland Heights, Ohio, threw food, including a steak, at staff around 4:15 AM on November 21, due to a dispute over an Uber Eats order. The suspects fled before the police arrived, and Highland Heights detectives are working to identify and apprehend the individuals involved.
