Darden Restaurants, one of the largest restaurant companies in the U.S., has decided to shut down Bahama Breeze, a casual dining chain it owns. The company determined that Bahama Breeze no longer fits its business strategy, so it's taking dramatic action: closing half the restaurants entirely and transforming the other half into different restaurant brands. This marks a significant shift in Darden's portfolio and affects numerous locations across Florida.
