National Restaurant Chain With Many PA Locations Considering Downsizing

PITTSBURGH, PA — A national restaurant chain with nearly two dozen Pennsylvania locations is reviewing shuttering many eateries.

Although 20 restaurant locations previously considered for closure were moved off the closure list, company executives said in an earnings call last week that 20 underperforming units remain targeted for portfolio review in fiscal 2026.

"I think in terms of the restaurant (franchise) size, we are still trying to optimize the portfolio," Red Robin CEO David Paces said.

Red Robin closed 23 restaurants last year, finishing 2025 with 475 in the U.S., according to Restaurant Business.

The specific locations could close have not been disclosed.

Despite the closure announcement, Red Robin remains optimistic about its future.

In January, the chain introduced a new menu featuring six meal options across a tiered price range of $9.99 to $16.99, extending beyond burgers into categories such as our hand-breaded Classic Crispy Chicken Sandwiches, Donatos pizza, and Whiskey River barbecue wraps.

Each meal includes signature bottomless sides and beverages.

Early results indicate that the menu is performing as expected, and that average check has increased and remains healthy as guests engage across the menu, Paces said..
