Summary
New research from the University of Cincinnati reveals why so many local restaurants are folding—60% of 2,000+ independent spots didn’t survive 15 years, largely due to neighborhood factors like high density and crime, not management. Areas packed with restaurants saw the most closures, but rising costs, stagnant rents, and shifting consumer habits are crushing smaller businesses. Owners can’t raise prices without losing customers, even as their expenses soar. Yet, passion and community keep some defiantly open—these findings aim to help them navigate the tough realities of running a neighborhood staple.
