BBQ Restaurant Chain 'Abruptly' Closes All But One Location

A popular BBQ chain only has one remaining location after shutting down three outposts "abruptly" on Tuesday.

The restaurant business can be fickle, and while there were still reportedly nearly 750,000 in operation around the country as of 2023 and thousands more have opened since then, a significant number of places have also closed during that time. 

Armadillo Willy's, which debuted in 1983 and became a chain throughout the Bay Area, closed three of its locations on Tuesday night, according to the Mercury News.
