Did you know that back in 2012, over 616,000 restaurants opened nationwide?
That’s 616,000 restaurants similar to yours. That is a heck of a lot of competition. However, some resources quote that up to 60 percent restaurants close or change ownership in the first year, which means that roughly 369,000 restaurants closed within their first year of business. What’s worse is that about 80 percent (492,000 restaurants) close within five years.
