Hey Now Don’t Take Our Utah Denny’s

Last week, the family and I took a quick weekend trip to California. We visited some of our favorite spots—the beach and the USS Midway Museum, an aircraft carrier turned museum. We spent a little more than we planned, but as you do when on the road, we had to eat and wanted to have a nice sit-down meal.

After polling the group, we decided to go to Denny’s, and you know what? We had a great time! The food was delicious, the prices were surprisingly reasonable, and the staff was fantastic. It reminded me that I actually really like Denny’s—I mean, I’m a fan.

If you’re like me and a fan of Denny’s, we need to make sure our local spot sticks around. Why would I be worried? Well, due to some recent cutbacks for the chain, many locations are on the chopping block, not that ours are in danger yet, but we need to keep our local diner in business, right?

The key is to make sure they are doing well, not surprising I know, but they have identified 150 locations as underperforming, and of those nearly half are set to close by the end of this year, with the rest closing for good by 2025.

We need our Denny's with all of the shows that we put on in southern Utah, we require a place to feed late at night after the big show, or a place to take the whole family without having to sell the house, not to mention breakfast any time of the day.
