Logan’s Roadhouse is closing 261 locations and has fired all employees, leaving workers without jobs or healthcare during a major economic and health crisis.
Owned by the same parent company as Old Chicago, CraftWorks Holdings chose to furlough staff rather than adapt with take-out or delivery.
The situation worsened after CEO Hazem Ouf was fired for misappropriating $7 million in sales taxes. Despite his removal, the company continued shutting down locations, claiming it lacked funds to keep them operating.
Employees were left suddenly unemployed, facing financial and healthcare uncertainty amid the ongoing crisis.
