Bahama Breeze Chain To Be Sold by Parent Company, Darden
Bahama Breeze, a restaurant with a Caribbean theme, is being sold by its parent company, Darden Restaurants.
This follows the closing of many locations in May.
The company's CEO said that the remaining restaurants aren't a main focus.
Bahama Breeze has restaurants that have an island escape feel and serves Caribbean food.
If no one buys Bahama Breeze, Darden might change them into other restaurants it owns, like Olive Garden or LongHorn Steakhouse.
Darden Restaurants plans to sell its Bahama Breeze chain.
The decision follows the closure of 15 Bahama Breeze locations in May.
CEO Rick Cardenas stated the remaining locations are not a strategic priority.
Bahama Breeze currently operates 14 locations.
Darden may convert the remaining restaurants into Olive Garden or LongHorn Steakhouse.
