Fazoli's, the national pasta restaurant chain, has closed two more locations in Michigan, leaving only three restaurants remaining in the state. The closures of the Walker and Muskegon locations come as the company's parent, FAT Brands, filed for bankruptcy earlier this year. This follows the recent shutdowns of Fazoli's restaurants in Kalamazoo and Jenison, Michigan.

Why it matters

The Fazoli's closures in Michigan are part of a broader trend of restaurant chains scaling back operations, especially those that were already struggling financially prior to the pandemic. The bankruptcy filing by FAT Brands suggests the company is facing significant financial challenges that may lead to more Fazoli's locations closing across the country.

The details

The signs on the doors of the closed Walker and Muskegon Fazoli's locations simply stated that the restaurants were now closed and thanked customers for their support. With these latest shutdowns, only three Fazoli's remain open in Michigan - in Lansing, Jackson, and Battle Creek. It's unclear if additional closures are planned as the parent company continues to navigate the bankruptcy process.

• The Walker and Muskegon Fazoli's locations closed suddenly on February 25, 2026.
• A Fazoli's restaurant in Kalamazoo closed in September 2025.
• A Fazoli's location in Jenison closed in December 2025.
• FAT Brands, the parent company of Fazoli's, filed for bankruptcy earlier in 2026.

What’s next

It remains to be seen if Fazoli's will close any additional locations in Michigan as its parent company FAT Brands continues to navigate the bankruptcy process. Customers in the state will be watching closely to see if the three remaining restaurants can withstand the financial challenges facing the brand.
