O’Charley’s Restaurant chain closes another local location

CHATTANOOGA (WDEF) – A struggling Tennessee chain has closed a high-profile location in the Chattanooga area.

The O’Charley’s near Hamilton Place was closed last week, blaming the decision on business conditions.

The chain of restaurants began in Nashville in 1971.

At their peak, they had more than 300 locations in 17 states, but have been in decline since 2018.

The chain has closed locations at Northgate and Dalton over the last few years.

They still have restaurants in Fort Oglethorpe and Cleveland.
