Closure numbers for several listed restaurants, such as MOD Pizza, PDQ, Applebee's, and Red Lobster, are correct. In a February 29 earnings call, for example, Applebee's President Tony Moralejo said that the chain was expecting a net decrease of 25 to 35 restaurants during 2024, matching the post's figure. MOD Pizza similarly shut down 26 of its more than 500 locations in the first quarter of 2024 alone, and PDQ permanently closed the doors for eight restaurants across the Carolinas—both figures were recorded correctly in the image.
