TGI Fridays’ sudden closure of its restaurant at the Syracuse mall surprised those who visited Destiny USA. A sign posted on the facility’s door on Thursday announced an emergency closure, catching both customers and mall officials off guard.

Destiny USA representatives stated that they were not notified of the closure in advance. The restaurant chain previously announced plans to close approximately 40 locations nationwide earlier this year.

The sudden closure follows a series of recent departures from the mall, raising concerns about the stability of some businesses at Destiny USA.
