It is the casual dining chain’s largest round of store closures since January, when it shuttered 36 “underperforming” locations across the US, including five in New York.

Nearly 50 locations of TGI Fridays abruptly closed within the past week, an ominous sign for the chain as a reported bankruptcy looms.

It was just the latest wave of closures for Dallas-based TGI Fridays this year. The chain closed 36 restaurants in January and another 12 or so in September and earlier this month, bringing the total tally of closures to around 100. It ended last year with 269 locations, according to data from Restaurant Business sister company Technomic.
