When I was in college and law school, I loved TGI Fridays. Whenever I was in New York, D.C., Boston, or traveling to California, the beauty of this chain restaurant was that you\u2019d get the same quality meal. I always went for the Chicken Caesar Salad and the Rockslide Pie was a great dessert.<\/p>\n
Like Bennigan\u2019s before it, it looks like the near end of Fridays. From 600 plus restaurants, down to a little more than 100, TGI Friday\u2019s just filed for bankruptcy and it looks like it will be the end. The Fridays by me just closed suddenly, and while I loved the chain, I\u2019ve only been there a couple of times over the past 5 years. While they cite the pandemic, Friday\u2019s has been eclipsed by other restaurants like The Cheesecake Factory and Chili\u2019s. Even Ford\u2019s Garage opened up shop in Suffolk County, and they will be the next booming chain. What happened to Fridays is that they stayed stagnant, didn\u2019t offer much enticing food on their menu, and always seemed to change their loyalty program.<\/p>\n
You have to continuously fine-tune things and deal with the competition. Chili\u2019s is doing gangbusters with their business because of their $6 Margaritas and Triple Dippers. If you don\u2019t evolve, you run into trouble and end up out of business.<\/p>\n
