Meanwhile, Cracker Barrel, Golden Corral, Applebee’s, and IHOP are all scheduled to remain open.
Chains with a high number of franchised locations, such as Starbucks, Dunkin’, Wendy’s, Subway, and Taco Bell will vary by location.
Customers are advised to check individual store hours to confirm whether their local locations will remain in business.
CAVA CONCEPTS
Cava has been emerging as an up-and-coming favorite in the fast casual dining world.
“Don’t kill me but Cava is way better than Chipotle,” one fan wrote on Facebook.
Even with inflation on the rise, the company has managed to keep its prices competitively low.

The restaurant chain reported a profitable year in 2024, with plans to cash in on its success.
CEO Brett Schulman announced intentions to focus on in-store experiences.
However, it also offered alternatives to staff-facing order processes by streamlining its app.
“If people want a kiosk-type experience they can download [and] open up the app,” Schulman said.
NEW DESIGNS
Additionally, the chain announced that it would test new in-store furniture and colors.
These changes were part of the brand’s aim of making the restaurant more inviting to customers.
The company’s adapting to its kiosk model reflects similar moves by Shake Shack.
Starbucks also announced changes similar to Cava regarding its customer service processes.
