Companies Closing Locations Through 2026

Del Taco has announced plans to close roughly 18 underperforming locations as part of an ongoing review of its restaurant portfolio. The closures come after the chain was sold by Jack in the Box to a private buyer, prompting a reassessment of which locations best fit its long-term strategy.

Company statements indicate the affected restaurants were struggling with sales and profitability. Del Taco is focusing on strengthening core markets, improving operations, and investing in higher-performing locations while maintaining a more streamlined national footprint.
