Why have so many GRANDY's closed down?

Question

I went to visit my family in Missouri last April and one of the first places i wanted to go was grandy's and alot of them have closed! We used to go there every year as a kid (in the summers) Their hot rolls are delicious, and i love the way the food is like proper food but "fast food"!

Answer 1

SORRY, but with the overhead cost's and the dietry needs of people changing,

Answer 2

A lot of it is demographic changes. As the population changes, the desire for certain foods do too. There used to be a Grandy's near to an old office of mine in west Houston. They had good "fast" food and great rolls. My department used to go there at least once a week.

That was the late 80s/early 90s. The neighborhood is now predominantly hispanic with a strong Korean undertone. The old Grandy's restaurant is now a taqueria. In fact, there are no longer any Grandy's in the Houston area due to a lot of the demographics changing. Most are in "whiter" North Texas. In addition, people's taste changes. While I used to love their double chicken fried steak platter, my current "go out for lunch" is Indian or Mediterranean food.

Answer 3

They are just not as popular anymore. Sorry.

Answer 4

The one I used to go to in Wichita Falls, Texas closed down a long time ago. Like 10 years ago!   I used to love their homemade cinnamon rolls, and the fried chicken was really good.

Answer 5

Answer 7

Never heard of Grandy's, I dont think they have them in the UK. (your question crossed over to the UK answers)

Maybe business is not as good as it used to be.
