Logan’s Roadhouse, facing severe economic challenges, made the difficult decision to close all 261 of its locations, affecting thousands of employees. Instead of adapting to take-out and delivery,
the chain chose to shut down completely. The situation worsened when the parent company, CraftWorks Holdings, fired CEO Hazem Ouf for financial misconduct, including misdirecting $7 million in sales taxes. His actions hurt the company’s finances and employees’ trust. The new CEO, Marc Buehler, continued cost-cutting measures, including terminating workers and healthcare benefits, leaving many employees with limited options, such as relying on Obamacare during the pandemic.
