Darden to Close 14 Bahama Breeze Locations, Rebrand 14 More
TL;DR
Darden Restaurants will permanently close 14 Bahama Breeze locations and convert the remaining 14 into other company concepts over the next 12–18 months, with closures through April 5, 2026. The move follows Bahama Breeze being deprioritized among the company’s brands; Darden previously explored options including a sale or broader conversion. The company notes the converting and closing sites will continue as Bahama Breeze temporarily during the transition.
