Mary Williams+FollowDenny’s shutters 150 diners, staff left reelingDenny’s is closing 150 locations nationwide, with some workers losing their jobs just weeks before the holidays. The sudden shutdowns—like the one in North Platte—happened so fast that staff barely had time to react before the doors were locked for good. Company leaders say low sales and staffing struggles made it impossible to keep these diners open, even after a $620 million buyout. With other chains like Red Robin also downsizing, it feels like the end of an era for classic American diners. How are these closures affecting your community, and what does it mean for local jobs and late-night eats? #Food #Dennys #RestaurantClosures01Share

Annette Jones+FollowElmwood’s Starbucks shake-up: What’s brewing?Starbucks on Elmwood is at the center of a heated local debate, with many wondering if the Bidwell location—famous for sparking the Starbucks union movement—might be on the chopping block.
