The remaining open locations include two in Grand Rapids, one in Detroit, and another in the Saginaw area. With such a limited number left, the question on everyone’s mind is whether Michigan will be affected by these recent cutbacks.

The list of states slated for TGI Fridays closures is extensive and covers a wide geographical area: California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Massachusetts, Maryland, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Virginia. These states are set to see a significant reduction in TGI Fridays establishments.
