The closure of one location in New York City at 1633 Broadway occurred on January 2, 2016.  The Company also confirmed its plan to close 3 additional locations in other markets as part of its ongoing strategy to address the bottom 25% locations in restaurant level cash flows.  In addition, the Company is actively pursuing an exit strategy for 6 other locations and is evaluating other options for the remaining restaurants in the bottom 25%.
