Back 40, a favorite local spot in Nashville, is shutting down after filing for Chapter 7 bankruptcy. Rising costs have hit the city’s restaurants hard, and even beloved neighborhood hangouts aren’t immune. Back 40’s story is a tough reminder of how challenging it’s become for small businesses to keep up with higher wages, supply prices, and lingering pandemic debts. Many in the community are wondering what this means for the future of Nashville’s dining scene. Have you noticed more local places struggling or closing lately? What do you think could help keep our favorite spots open? #Business #NashvilleEats #SupportLocal
