Denny\u2019s, a major diner-style restaurant chain known for its 24-hour service and iconic Grand Slam breakfast, is making a big change after closing 150 locations last yea<\/a>r. <\/p>\n

The restaurant\u2019s franchisor, Denny\u2019s Corporation, recently announced that a $620 million buyout transaction closed on Jan. 16. The chain\u2019s new owners include TriArtisan Capital Advisors, Treville Capital Group and Yadav Enterprises. <\/p>\n

\u201cToday represents an important milestone … as we embark on our next chapter under new ownership,\u201d Denny\u2019s CEO Kelli Valade said in a press release. \u201cOur dedication to supporting franchisees and commitment to serving our guests remain the same. We are grateful for the hard work of our employees and franchisees who represent our restaurants with pride every day. With the support of our new owners, we look forward to continuing to serve and delight guests across the nation.\u201d<\/p>\n

The changes come after Denny\u2019s closed 150 locations in 2025. The company noted in December that the closures were not a result of the acquisition, but were part of a previously announced plan in 2024 to shutter \u201cunderperforming\u201d restaurants.<\/p>\n

Denny\u2019s currently has more than 1,200 locations in the United States and 1,400 restaurants worldwide. Staten Island was home to a Denny\u2019s from 2017 until 2020. The Eltingville location closed its doors at the beginning of the pandemic and never reopened<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Denny\u2019s, a major diner-style restaurant chain known for its 24-hour service and iconic Grand Slam breakfast, is making…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":116228,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[9,24,63,137,134,136,135],"class_list":{"0":"post-116227","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-staten-island","8":"tag-new-york","9":"tag-new-york-city","10":"tag-nyc","11":"tag-processedbyclaro","12":"tag-staten-island","13":"tag-staten-island-headlines","14":"tag-staten-island-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116227","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=116227"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116227\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/116228"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=116227"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=116227"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=116227"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
