Noodles & Company
Noodles & Company was founded in 1995 and enjoyed several years of success until their sales started to decline. People after the early 2000s did not seem to want to get in on the noodle buzz too much. However, what made a difference in 2016 was a data breach that compromised the personal information of customers across the states. The data breach eventually cost the company $11 million. 10 % of their branches had to be closed in 2018.

Joe’s Crab Shack
Joe’s Crab Shack was once a favorite an informal seafood chain specializing in large buckets of crab, stuffed shrimp, and other American comfort dishes. It may have been their rivalry with Bubba Gump or other independent seafood restaurants that made their customers less attractive. The company filed for bankruptcy in 2017 and closed 41 of its sites. Right now, 58 places are still open, but it is expected that more will close this year.
