Chains are falling by the day in the US, and another one has just been named.
A Facebook post revealed that the Johnny Rockets in CityWalk Hollywood will close on July 1.
This was then shared with the group Retail Dead or Alive for customers to weigh in on.
In the comments, people shared where their local Johnny Rockets is, as the number dwindles.
One person shared a link to the official website of Johnny Rockets, showing how many locations are left.
Few states have more than a handful of spots still standing, with many only having an average of three.
The states with the most Johnny Rockets locations include California, Nevada and Arizona.
Other people on the social media site shared which locations they used to go to, which have no disappeared.
One person said: “Santa Monica had two one at place 3rd level and on third street. Went two years ago both gone.”
Someone else added: “There is a casino/horse track about 5 min from my house.
“There was a JR there, but it’s been gone for a while.
“If the ratio of expense-food quality wasn’t better at other locations, it’s no wonder they’ve struggled.”

DINERS DASH
The US Sun recently reported on the wider issue facing the sector, namely the chains facing the harshest conditions at the moment.
Including Red Lobster and TGI Friday’s, Jack In the Box, Applebee’s and Denny’s are caught in the midst of franchise closures and bold economic plans to turn the tide.
Jack In the Box has confirmed it will shut down 200 spots to reset its debt issues.
But the company is also in the middle of its bold “JACK on Track” scheme.
CEO Lance Tucker, who took the helm on March 31, said: “Our actions today focus on three main areas.
“Addressing our balance sheet, closing underperforming restaurants, and returning to simplicity,” he said.
Restaurant closures in 2025
Denny’s – Denny’s has confirmed that up to 150 locations are set to close in the US by the end of the year as many of them are no longer profitable.
Red Lobster – The chain has said that it plans to close over 100 stores across the country this year as new CEO Damola Adamolekun takes over.
TGI Friday’s – TGI Friday’s is still being forced to shutter locations thanks to a bankruptcy filing, including 30 in April alone.
Applebee’s – This chain is projecting a loss of 20 to 35 Applebee’s spots in 2025 but is teaming up with IHOP to introduce dual-branded locations with a curated menu of the two’s best items.
Noodles & Company – This emporium is set to close between 17 and 21 locations in 2025 following a difficult 2024.
Applebee’s is undergoing a similar period of transition right now with its “Lookin’ Good” plan.
It involves refining the remaining locations and turning more into dual locations with IHOP.
CEO John Peyton said: “Six of our top 10 franchisees, representing 57% of the Applebee’s system, have already elected to accelerate remodels of their restaurants by the end of 2025 based on the Lookin’ Good program.
“The dual brand concept is now a core pillar of our development strategy, and we’re optimistic about the long-term upside potential.
“On average, we’ve seen these locations achieve 1.5 to 2 times the revenue compared to a single brand restaurant.”
Finally, Denny’s is still alive and kicking despite plans to close 150 spots by the end of 2025.
But the chain is determined to remodeling branches and is set to open a further 20 new restaurants this year, too.
CEO Kelli Valade said: “This program is a catalyst for increasing same-restaurant sales, generating incremental traffic and driving profitability to our system and is a key component of achieving our long-term goal of $2.2 million AUVs for the Denny’s brand.”
