Rapid Fired Pizza
This gourmet pizza shop makes pizza within 180 seconds and it is often paired with Kroger’s, which gives shoppers a place to get something quick to eat while they do their grocery shopping. Rapid Fired Pizza announced it would be closing down several locations in 2020. A location in Wilmington, Ohio is the most recent closure. Compared to others on this list, Rapid Fired Pizza is relatively new. The industry of fast-casual pizza is new and has become a challenge to the pizza establishment.
Panera Bread
Specializing in fast-casual dining, Panera Bread has many dining rooms that are currently closed. The company has already shut down a few scattered branches across the country. It announced last year that it would be closing 2000 Panera Cares subsidiary locations, which is a massive reshuffling of the company’s physical footprint. However, Au Bon Pain, Panera’s other major subsidiary, is still alive and well.
