Ruby Tuesday is closing 185 locations for good and filing for bankruptcy protection, the latest casual restaurant chain to suffer from coronavirus-related closures and changing consumer habits.

The Maryville, Tennessee-based company, which was founded in 1972, said on Wednesday that its remaining restaurants will stay open throughout the bankruptcy process.

Ruby Tuesday will go forward with 236 company-owned and franchised restaurants in the U.S., Canada and nine other countries, including Hong Kong, Chile and Kuwait, according to UPI. In 2009, there were 896 Ruby Tuesday locations.

When I was in a burger joint, my burger hit the floor. The Manager bought my lunch that day. ;)

This is really unbearable. Their salad bar is fantastic, their menu food very uneven -- but they're such comfy nice old-fashioned places. Steaks you can't fake.

Ruby's place is just another casualty to the NWO's brutal sadism. I have no doubt the PTB consider Ruby's place 'too white' despite the profusion of diversity twits they're forced to hire. Lots of their waitpersons are nice and mellow though. Can't tell you how many good times I've had there with and without compatriots.
