Chili’s is a popular casual dining franchise that has captured the hearts of restaurantgoers worldwide. However, recent rumors about the chain closing down all its locations have caused quite a stir on social media.
On May 15, 2024, the phrase ‘Chili’s closing all locations’ started trending on various social media platforms. The rumors seemed to have originated from a blog post on Taste of Country, titled Chili’s Is Shutting Doors Across America in 2024. Many people misinterpreted this as meaning that Chili’s was planning to shut down all its restaurants.
Fortunately, the rumors are false. Chili’s has clarified that they have permanently closed a few select locations in the first four months of 2024, but they do not have any plans to close down all their restaurants.
To dispel the rumors and calm worried customers, Chili’s has taken to social media to address the situation. They responded to concerned customers, reassuring them that the rumors were not true. In a TikTok comment, Chili’s emphasized, “NOT TRUE, NOT TRUE,” in response to a video spreading false information.
Chili’s was founded by Larry Lavine in 1975 and was later acquired by Brinker International in 1985. As of 2024, the chain boasts over 1500 locations in the United States and operates in more than 30 countries.
So, fans of Chili’s can breathe a sigh of relief knowing that their favorite restaurant is not closing all its locations. Enjoy your next meal at Chili’s without any worries!
