Denny’s Grand Slam Shutdown: 150 Restaurants to Bite the Bacon in 2025

-

The Breakfast Boom is officially on a diet. 

Denny’s, America’s most reliable provider of 2 a.m. pancakes and questionable life choices, has announced plans to shutter 150 under-performing locations by the end of 2025. 

That’s right, folks—if you’ve been delaying that final pilgrimage to your favorite sticky-booth diner, the time is now.

The Breakdown of the Breakfast Breakdown:

  • 2024 Wake-Up Call: 50 locations have already been sent to the great breakfast bar in the sky.

  • 2025 Pancake Purge: Another 100 locations are expected to flip their final flapjacks this year.

  • Why the Griddle Went Cold: Denny’s execs claim the closures are necessary to “turn around flagging sales” and “strengthen cash flow.” 

    Translation: Not enough people are demanding hash browns at all hours.

  • Older Locations at Risk: If your local Denny’s still has wood paneling and a jukebox that plays ‘70s soft rock, it may be on the chopping block.

But wait, there’s more! 

In February 2025, Denny’s CFO hinted that an additional 70 to 90 locations could also be toast. 

That could mean up to 180 total closures, making this the most dramatic breakfast-based catastrophe since someone put ketchup on scrambled eggs. (It was me!)

 


Where’s My Moons Over My Hammy?

Denny’s is keeping its closure list under wraps, refusing to tell customers in advance which locations will be shutting down. 

Instead, they’ve promised to work closely with franchise owners and employees to soften the blow—possibly with a farewell stack of complimentary shortcakes.

While this is sad news for late-night diners, road-trippers, and anyone who believes a Grand Slam is an appropriate midnight snack, fear not! 

Plenty of Denny’s will survive the storm, ensuring that Americans can still enjoy their bottomless coffee and regret-laden breakfast platters well into the future.

Please Help Find These Forgotten Girls Held at Male Juvenile Prison for Over a Year!

  MY MOST IMPORTANT STORY  Dozens of Forgotten Little Girls Held at Male Juvenile Prison for Over a Year! Welcome to the Sunshine State, where the palm trees sway, the alligators lurk, and the legislative process makes Kafka look like a life coach!  Florida House Bill HB21 . Not just a compensation bill but possibly a 20 million dollar "Stay out of Jail Free" card for some folks. This is a bill that does some good—but also trips over its own shoelaces, falls down a staircase, and lands on a historical oversight so big, it might as well have its own zip code! An oversight that overlooks what I consider to be its most vulnerable victims! The Setup: Justice with a Catch HB21 was enacted on July 1, 2024 to compensate victims of abuse from two male juvenile detention facilities located in Florida, Dozier and Okeechobee.  It says, “Hey, survivors of abuse between 1940 and 1975, here’s some compensation for the horrific things you endured!” Sounds good, right? Like a...

Here's A New HOA Rule Dictating What You Can Do Inside Your Home

HOA Overreach: When Your Own Home Isn’t Really Your Own The joys of homeownership—the American dream!  That magical place where you can paint the walls any color you like, blast your music (within reason), and enjoy the simple pleasure of—wait, never mind..... Turns out, your HOA might have something to say about what you do inside your own four walls. Case in point: A longtime homeowner, who has peacefully lived in his residence for 25 years, was blindsided when his HOA suddenly banned smoking inside individual homes.  That’s right—after a quarter-century of no issues, he was informed that lighting up indoors was no longer an option.  The new rule, passed at the HOA’s annual meeting by a majority vote, now restricts smoking to a designated outdoor area. Now, while some might see this as a health-conscious decision, the homeowner—whose wife is a smoker—sees it as an unfair overreach.  In a letter to a local publication, he expressed frustration, writing, “I’ve live...

Postal Police Stuck Behind ‘Keep Out’ Signs While Mailmen Face Muggers: You Can’t Make This Stuff Up!!

As crime against letter carriers surges, one would think that America’s armed, uniformed Postal Police might be hitting the streets to protect our mail.  Instead, they’re still glued to their post office entrances like sentries guarding Fort Frownmore.  Why?  Because since 2020, the Postmaster General decreed they must “protect postal property” only—meaning, they currently serve as glorified lobby bouncers rather than actual roaming guardians of the mailstream. “ They’re robbing letter carriers, they’re sticking a gun in a letter carrier’s face and they’re demanding arrow keys, ” laments Frank Albergo , president of the National Postal Police Union and a Postal Police Officer himself.  An "arrow key" in the context of the Post Office is a specialized, universal key that postal workers use to access various locked mail receptacles, including collection boxes, apartment mailboxes, and cluster boxes. Albergo isn’t exaggerating—research shows over 100 physical assaul...
