Guzman y Gomez exits US after succumbing to ‘graveyard’ for Australian fast food chains
Australian Mexican-themed fast food chain Guzman y Gomez (GyG) is shutting down its eight US stores in the Chicago area after failing to establish a viable presence in the crowded American market, with founder Steven Marks noting the business required far more time and capital than anticipated. The exit will incur up to US$40m (A$56m) in one-off costs, and while GyG’s share price rose over 15% following the announcement, it remains below its mid-2024 IPO price of $22.
