Farmingdale Ruby Tuesday Closes Down

Following the report that 95 Ruby Tuesdays will close down nationwide, four Long Island restaurants were shut down this week.

The local Ruby Tuesdays were all removed from the company's website including the restaurant in Farmingdale, located on 2120 Route 110.

Other Long Island locations to close include Commack, Selden and Sayville. Three restaurants remain on Long Island including in Deer Park, Medford and Westbury.

On Monday, the company announced that a total of 95 "under performing" Ruby Tuesdays will be closed down by September.

The announcement was made along with the release of the company's fourth quarter and 2016 fiscal year financial results. According to the report, as of May 31 the company had a total of 724 restaurants, including 646 that were company-operated.

"The decision to close restaurants is a difficult but necessary step as we take aggressive actions to strengthen our organization. Performance at each of these locations, despite the loyalty of valued guests and the efforts of our dedicated employees, was not meeting expectations," JJ Buettgen, Chairman of the Board, President, and CEO said in a press release. "Full-time and part-time employees impacted by closures will be offered positions in nearby restaurants where possible.”
