One month ago Denny's announced their corporation will be acquired by TriArtisan Capital Advisors, Treville Capital Group and Yadav Enterprises in $620 Million Transaction.

Earlier this week SFGATE reported that a San Francisco Denny's had abruptly closed at a local mall. Guests arriving for a bite to eat were greeted by a sign that simply said "CLOSED". Another sign offered the address of a nearby Denny's that has remained open.

Some of these restaurants can be very old. You think of a 70-year-old plus brand. We have a lot of restaurants that have been out there for a very long time. - Stephen Dunn, Denny's Executive Vice President
