With the future of its remaining North Bay locations uncertain, the closure of the Coddingtown location leaves one Denny’s operating on Baker Avenue in Santa Rosa, while Petaluma’s Denny’s on Petaluma Boulevard also remains open.
The Denny’s restaurant at 105 Pomeroy St. in Ukiah is expected to close in 2023 and become Habit Burger & Grill.
A location on Imola Road in Napa is set to close in 2022, according to the Napa Valley Register. Denny’s restaurants in Vallejo, Fairfield and Cordelia in Solano County were open by the end of November.
Signs posted announcing the closure at the Coddingtown Mall location directed customers to the chain’s Baker Avenue eatery, but did not list any other information.
The company announced on November 3 that it was going private following a $620 million deal with investment firms TriArtisan Capital Advisors, Treville Capital and Yadav Enterprises.
Last year, the investors said in a news release that they planned to close 150 of the chain’s lowest-performing stores by the end of 2025, but did not provide an official list of stores to be closed. The company also said it would open other locations across the country but did not say where.
After a year of decline, Denny’s stock jumped 47% immediately after the sale.
“We look forward to working with the rest of the Kelly & Denny’s team and franchisees to provide resources and support the company’s long-term strategic growth plans,” Rohit Manocha, co-founder and managing director of TriArtisan, said in a statement earlier this month.
The chain, known for its 24/7 operating hours and classic diner breakfast, has more than 1,500 eateries nationwide, including 348 in California, according to its Web site, which was updated to reflect only one restaurant in Santa Monica.
