• Denny's franchisee abruptly closes Burnsville, other Minnesota and Wisconsin locations (limitless-news.com) — Hudson's Denny's restaurant has permanently closed as part of a broader shutdown of several franchise locations in Minnesota and Wisconsin tied to the operator's mounting debt and anticipated Chapter 7 bankruptcy. Employees were given one day's notice, may face unpaid wages, and are being directed toward unemployment benefits while other Twin Cities Denny's locations remain open under different owners.
