Guzman y Gomez, the Australian-founded Mexican fast-casual restaurant chain, announces it is shutting down all of its stores in the United States. The decision follows the company’s earlier push to expand into the U.S. market, an effort that required tens of millions of dollars in investment, according to reports from multiple outlets. The closure affects the full U.S. footprint, with the chain ending operations in the country rather than continuing under a smaller scale. The outlets report that the company makes the announcement on Friday, without indicating that any locations will remain open. The move represents a retreat from the expansion plan the chain had pursued in the U.S., where it had been building its presence. Coverage across sources is consistent on the key points: Guzman y Gomez is ending its U.S. operations entirely, it had invested heavily as part of that expansion, and the shutdown is communicated as a company decision made on the same day.
