Ninety Nine Restaurant & Pub, a Massachusetts-based chain of family-friendly restaurants, abruptly closed three locations in Connecticut Monday.
A spokesperson for the chain confirmed Tuesday that Ninety Nine had closed its restaurants in Cromwell, Groton and Stratford on Nov. 28, effective immediately.
“The Ninety Nine is in the process of transferring Team Members to our other restaurant locations in Connecticut or offering them severance packages,” the company said in the statement. “The Ninety Nine values its guests and the local communities, and thanks everyone for their patronage.”
Remaining Ninety Nine restaurants are in Bristol, Enfield, Glastonbury, Killingly, Norwich, Torrington, Vernon and Wallingford.
The chain, based in Woburn, Mass., has more than 100 locations in New England and New York state, with the bulk of the restaurants in Massachusetts. The website Boston Restaurant Talk noted that Ninety-Nine has closed three locations in the Bay State this year, most recently its Canton restaurant on Nov. 27.
National diner chain Denny’s has also closed multiple locations in Connecticut this fall. Restaurants in Enfield, West Haven, Wethersfield and Vernon suddenly closed between Sept. 5 and Oct. 17, leaving four remaining Denny’s in the state.
