Red Robin To Permanently Close Plainfield Restaurant

PLAINFIELD, IL — Red Robin in Plainfield is shutting its doors.

The burger restaurant’s last day of service will be Aug. 17, according to a letter signed by staff and posted on the location’s doors. Red Robin has operated at the corner of Route 59 and 127th Street since October 2005.

“It will be business as usual until we lock our doors one final time that Sunday at 9 p.m.,” the note reads.

The company announced earlier this year that it’s considering closing up to 70 Red Robins over the next five years, with plans for 15 to shutter in 2025. The company plans to close underperforming restaurants by letting their leases expire without renewal, Men’s Journal reported.

The closures come after Red Robin reported a net loss of $77.5 million for 2024, compared to the previous year's $21.2 million, despite an increase in sales in the final quarter of 2024, according to a report from Finance Buzz.

"We invite you to come in and see us sometime in the next 3 weeks," the Plainfield team said. "We have appreciated everyone's patronage."
