SALT LAKE CITY (ABC4) — A Burger King franchise is closing 27 restaurants across seven states, and nine of those restaurants are in Utah, according to court documents.
The restaurants are set to close in Utah, Montana, Wyoming, Minnesota, Kansas, Nebraska, and North Dakota.
This comes after the Burger King franchise, Meridian Restaurants Unlimited, filed for bankruptcy last month, as reported by Restaurant Business. And this is not the only Burger King franchise to close doors, the outlet reported.
While there is a total of 7,257 Burger King restaurants in the United States, according to data company ScrapeHero, this franchise operated 120 restaurants, making the 27 store closures one-fifth of their operations, Restaurant Business reported. And the outlet says there may be more closures to come.
Here is a list of the Burger King restaurants closing in Utah:
