• America's favorite diner chain is planning a massive comeback after struggling for years (newsbeyonddetroit.net) — Burnsville diners recently lost their local Denny's when a franchisee abruptly closed five Minnesota and Wisconsin locations, citing heavy debt and cash shortages. The shutdown, which some customers blamed on poor management, comes as Denny's new owners roll out a nationwide turnaround plan with restaurant renovations, menu updates, and potential efforts to reopen some shuttered sites under new ownership.
