HomeTown Buffet, and dozens of other restaurants, abruptly closed Thursday. The popular buffet restaurant was located across the United States including Northern California.
In a statement from Food Management Partners (FMP), the restaurant's parent company, 74 under-performing Old Country Buffet, HomeTown Buffet, Ryan's, Fire Mountain and Country Buffet restaurants throughout the United States were permanently closed Thursday.
FMP said that, based on ongoing assessments of individual restaurants, it was "necessary to shutter locations for the continued viability of the brands and the company's employees."
Employees affected by these closures will be given the opportunity to apply for positions at operating stores and there were plans to add staff to the operating restaurants, according to FMP.
