A company that operates Long John Silver’s locations in Illinois, Iowa and two other states has closed some locations and plans to close more.
Nellis Management, a real estate and restaurant management company based in Urbandale, Iowa, owns 31 LJS locations including five in Illinois and 17 in Iowa. Their website said they have been a Long John Silver’s franchisee since 1972.
Several of those locations closed the second week of June 2014 and more closures were expected. Eight of the 16 planned closures were locations in Iowa including Ankeny, Cedar Rapids, Des Moines, Dubuque, Fort Dodge, Marshalltown, Muscatine and West Des Moines.
