This is a bit of a surprise for me, I'm not sure why. It shouldn't be surprising.

Several TGI Fridays are closing in New Jersey. We have the most Fridays closing in New Jersey more than any other state in the US.

TGI Fridays confirmed this week that they would be closing 36 underperforming restaurants throughout the nation, according to 9news.com.
