National restaurant chains have continued trimming store counts as operators face high occupancy costs, uneven traffic, and a tougher casual-dining market.

The latest closure leaves only four restaurants still operating across the country.

The company has not issued a public announcement outlining the closure timeline for San Bernardino or providing a nationwide closure count of its own.

Patch reported that the restaurant had served the area since 1999 and described the San Bernardino store as the final remaining unit for the chain in that region. The report also noted that Rancho Cucamonga had already lost its Claim Jumper in 2024, citing San Bernardino County public health records…
