TEXAS — Austin-founded and based chain restaurant Torchy’s Tacos will be closing seven locations in February, including one in Texas.
The location closing in Texas is located in Stafford, outside of the Houston metro. According to Restaurant Business, the other locations closing are in Arizona, Georgia, Florida and Ohio.
The closures are part of plan to focus more on higher performing restaurants, according to a spokesperson from Torchy’s.
“At Torchy’s, we’ve always believed that growing the right way matters more than growing fast. After carefully evaluating performance across our portfolio and our long-term plans for the brand, we’ve made the difficult decision to close a limited number of locations that no longer align with our long-term vision,” the spokesperson stated.
The company says that attainable growth is important to their business strategy, and they want to ensure customer satisfaction is high.
“These decisions allow us to focus more intentionally on high-performing markets and elevating the guest experience while continuing to invest in the bold, Damn Good food and hospitality that define Torchy’s. We’re confident these moves will put us in the strongest position for sustainable growth moving forward,” the spokesperson stated.
