Instead of opting for the more common route of adapting to take-out and delivery services, Logan’s Roadhouse chose a different path. In a move that shocked many, the company terminated all 261 locations, leaving a trail of uncertainty for thousands of dedicated employees.
The situation took a turn for the worse when it was revealed that the parent company, CraftWorks Holdings, had terminated its CEO, Hazem Ouf, for alleged financial misconduct. Ouf was accused of misusing funds, directing $7 million in sales taxes to states without proper approval. His actions not only jeopardized the company’s financial stability but also betrayed the trust of hardworking employees who depended on Logan’s for their livelihoods.
