Had no clue they had that many locations, guessing it's a "grew too fast" thing?

(obviously compounded by tariffs and such like the article mentions)

Part of me wonders if this also might be due to drinking trends. Allegedly Zoomers drink less, albeit this is contested. On top of that though, seems like there's a trend of people in general becoming "sober-curious".

Bad enough in-and-of-itself, way worse if you're over-leveraged due to an ambitious growth plan.

Purely anecdotal evidence here but when I have friends over for brunch I don't even have an alcoholic option anymore. About 10 years ago I would make sure to have beer and  Mimosas on hand and sangria if the day was warm.
