A Breakfast Chain Now Makes An Unexpected Closure in Georgia

April 30, 2024

A breakfast chain now makes an unexpected closure in Georgia after abruptly shuttering a location during the middle of the day.

Customers of the Waffle House, in Decatur, Georgia, outside Atlanta, were met with a surprise note that read:

“This location is permanently closed as of 4/29/24”.

The sign then directed fans to three other nearby branches.

Some members of staff were reportedly made aware of the surprise Monday midday closure a few days before, according to Decaturish.

This person said some employees were told on Thursday and Friday while others only found out when they came to work on Sunday.

The employee added they were not given a reason for the abrupt closure.

This location was known to be popular with local high school students, people on jury duty, and people who work in the area.

An employee also told Decaturish that staff had been offered roles at different spots.

Locals shared their thoughts on the surprise news in the comments of a Facebook post.

Some people blamed the parking situation in the area.

“I’ve seen people say that parking is not hard in Decatur, but I disagree,” they wrote.

“If I am going to pay for parking, it’s for a special night out, not for WH.”

“Free parking after 6pm, if it actually exists and you can find it, is still not enough for a restaurant that serves breakfast,” another person said.

Other people shared their thoughts on the departed location.

“Sad. I loved the retro look,” a commenter said.

“What a bummer!” another person wrote.

A massive shoe retailer now announces a new wave of layoffs to hit headquarters this summer, affecting over 700 employees.

Nike has announced its ‘second phase’ of mass layoffs, effective June 28, according to a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) filing.

A total of 740 employees will be impacted in the retailer’s home state.

The layoffs are part of the 2% workforce reduction Nike announced in February, which is taking place across two phases, the company confirmed via email.

Nike said job titles and the number of employees in each category would be provided at a later date, once the company has determined them.

Bumping rights are not available for the impacted employees, reports Retail Dive.

“Nike’s always at our best when we’re on the offense. The actions that we’re taking put us in the position to right-size our organization to get after our biggest growth opportunities as interest in sport, health and wellness have never been stronger,” Nike said in a statement.

“While these changes will impact approximately 2% of our total workforce, we are grateful for the contributions made by all Nike teammates.”

The layoffs are tied to a cost-savings plan Nike unveiled in December, which is aimed at generating up to $2 billion in cumulative savings over three years.

Based on the company’s last annual report, the layoffs to 2% of its total workforce will impact more than 1,600 people.

Savings from the plan are set to be reinvested in driving growth, innovation and profitability.
