Introduction
Per ScrapeHero.com’s most recently updated location count of the popular Long John Silver’s fast food chain: There are 540 Long John Silver’s restaurants in the United States as of December 21, 2023. The state and territory with the most number of Long John Silver’s locations in the US is Texas, with 77 restaurants, which is about 14% of all Long John Silver’s restaurants in the US.
Now comes word that an improved Long John Silver’s restaurant is expected to open in the state of Texas… from the ashes of one that has recently been torn down.
Let us explore.
Long John Silver’s, 2024
According to a recent report from CBS19.tv, the Long John Silver’s in Longview was demolished within the past week but is expected to return bigger and better.
As excerpted from the report: In February, the company filed for a development permit from the city of Longview to “remove existing Long John Silver’s and build new ground up LJS on same site. No change to existing property lines. Provide new parking layout/drive thru configuration. Building will be all new construction.”
