Bagger Dave’s
Locations Closing: TBD
Annual Revenue Of Restaurant: Undisclosed
Bagger Dave’s, a famous regional fast-food company headquartered mostly in Michigan with 28 locations, is expected to suffer a decline by 2023. The company stood apart from traditional fast-food menus by selling both burgers and handmade pizza. Despite its once-thriving business, the majority of its outlets have quietly closed in the last year. While two major Burger King franchise operators filed bankruptcy, Bagger Dave’s owner, BT Brands, which owns around 40% of the shares, took a different strategy. Instead of declaring bankruptcy, they intended to consider strategic alternatives for the brand, indicating a possible sale, closure, or reorganization of the distinctive fast-food franchise.
