TGI Friday’s Calls It A Day In KC Area

Kansas City Star:

Another restaurant chain has left the area market.

T.G.I. Friday’s closed its last area store Sunday in Independence.

The Overland Park location closed earlier this month, a Leawood location closed in mid-October, and a Shawnee location closed this summer. The franchisee also closed a location in Omaha, Neb.

In a statement, T.G.I. spokeswoman Amy Freshwater said: “Closing restaurants is a decision that is taken very seriously. We worked closely with this franchisee for an extended period of time in order to help them weather the economy. Unfortunately, there were not any viable long-term solutions and the franchisee had to close their restaurants.”
