Domino’s

Domino’s Pizza started in the US and expanded overseas. It has 63 UK franchisees, which operate 1,109 stores. However, Domino’s is facing economic hardship both at home and abroad, and it announced it would completely abandon its overseas operations. The pizza chain will close down not only its UK restaurants but also its chains in Sweden, Norway, and Switzerland. Domino’s allegedly incurred millions in losses in the past few years and there was no profit gain which would make up for the franchise-ending losses.

Long John Silver’s

Long John Silver’s has around 8,400 employees across the world. Before Yorkshire Global purchased it, it was a subsidiary of Jerrico, Inc. Its headquarters are in Louisville, Kentucky, and relatively recently, it ventured into the global markets. The seafood chain is closing locations in states in the South and West, but it announced it would be expanding and it acquired 76 franchises in Indiana. Also, LJS is on a mission to serve healthier food, since a health food publication declared it the “worst fast food restaurant meal” in the US.
