Subway
In the past few years, even Subway hasn’t been immune to closed restaurants. Subway closed in the United States in 2018 alone a record of 1,100 branches. More closures also took place in 2019. But don’t feel sad, because Subway is still the world’s largest chain restaurant. The company deliberately keeps the most profitable branches open.

Chipotle
Chipotle forced to close 50 different locations in 2019. Due to the increasing popularity of the chain, a few strong losses over the past few years have placed a dent in the reputation of the firm. The restaurant had been struggling with some cheap marketing a few years ago: consumers got sick with E. Coli during two outbreaks associated with the food that they had consumed at Chipotle. And a cyberattack jeopardized the personal information of customers in 2019. But other than that, in 2019 there are more than 150 new branches that had happened, so something must be going right.
