Here Are All The Things We Might Say Goodbye To In 2019
Food Chains
Young people aren’t eating in chains as much as previous generations, resulting in massive losses for companies like Applebee’s and Ruby Tuesdays. According to Sally Smith, Buffalo Wild Wings’ CEO: “Millennial consumers are more attracted than their elders to cooking at home, ordering delivery from restaurants, and eating quickly, in fast-casual or quick-serve restaurants.”
In August, Applebees announced it was closing 135 restaurants. Expect 2019 to see the decline in more chains as food and eating habits continue to change.
