Black Angus closes 7 restaurants

LOS ALTOS Calif. The Black Angus Steakhouse chain said it has shuttered seven locations this week because of “disappointing sales.”

The closures were in Thousand Oaks, Calif.; Scottsdale, Ariz.; Las Vegas; and two each in the Salt Lake City and Denver markets. Seventy-five locations remain in eight states. Officials said employees at the shuttered restaurants would be offered the opportunity to transfer to other locations.
