Bahama Breeze, a Caribbean-themed restaurant chain owned by Darden Restaurants, recently closed 15 locations, representing over a third of its restaurants. This decision has left diners surprised as many arrived to find the doors shut. The closures were attributed to performance issues at those specific locations, while more successful restaurants continue to operate. Currently, under 30 Bahama Breeze locations remain, primarily concentrated in Florida, with restaurants in several states facing significant reductions.
The closures came as a shock to many customers, who found out as they walked up to the restaurant ready to eat only to find signs posted on the door.
According to a Bahama Breeze spokesperson, the closures are related to those locations' performances, and other busier, top-performing locations remain in operation.
In some states, such as Delaware, New Jersey, and Washington, there is only one Bahama Breeze left in existence.
Bahama Breeze aims to immerse you in a tropical environment with Caribbean-inspired dishes and drinks, beach-themed decor, and even live music.
