Iconic Chain Restaurant To Reopen New London Location

NEW LONDON, CT — Denny's is reopening its doors at its New London restaurant.

The 322 S. Frontage Road restaurant is listed as "coming soon" on the Denny's website.

The restaurant is set to reopen in time for Mother's Day on May 11. The building has been closed for nearly a year due to a small kitchen fire, according to The Connecticut Scoop.

There are four other Denny's locations in Connecticut in Danbury, Hartford, Middletown, and Southington.

The iconic, 24-hour diner specializes in breakfast deals like the Grand Slam breakfast combo, which includes pancakes, bacon, sausage, and eggs. Denny's also offers a lunch and dinner menu with burgers, salads, melts, and more.

The news of the New London location reopening comes as Denny's has announced it closed 88 locations last year and will shutter up to 90 this year, CNN reported.

Some of the locations selected for closing have expiring leases or are in areas that have become unprofitable. The chain has also struggled in recent years due to inflation and increasing food costs, according to CNN.

Denny's closed its West Haven shop in 2018. A former Denny's in Vernon is being demolished to make way for a coffee business.
