Noodles & Co. Shuts Doors, But Sales Boom

Noodles & Company is closing up to 21 locations this year—even after shutting down 9 last year! But plot twist: sales are actually up, thanks to a revamped menu (hello, Lemon Garlic Shrimp Scampi and Steak Stroganoff) and a fresh ad campaign. The closures are all about ditching underperformers and making room for new, buzzier spots. Their new mac & cheese line? Totally crushing it. Wild how a pasta chain can close stores but still be on the up! #NoodlesAndCompany #RestaurantNews #FoodTrends #Food
