Many are closing due to economic challenges like inflation and rising costs, labor shortages, shifts in consumer behavior, and increased competition. And one fast causal chain is starting to feel the impact.

Noodles & Company announced that it would close 28 to 32 company-owned locations by the end of the year. While the company's comparable restaurant sales increased nationwide, its total revenue decreased. The noodle chain has more than 400 locations operating around the United States, with 18 in Michigan.

According to USA Today, Noodles & Company blames the revenue decline on “the strong value-conscious climate” and “slower guest adoption of the upgrades made to some of our historic menu items.”

So far, the company has closed six restaurants in 2025 and opened one new location. The company did not reveal which locations are likely to close.
