The closure of the San Francisco franchise came after 25 years at the site, Denny’s officials told KTVU.
The company said that it does not comment on the closure of its franchise locations.
But franchise owner Chris Haque told SFGATE that crime, including dining and ditching, was a driving force behind the decision to end operations at the site.
"The cost of doing business is tremendous. There’s vandalism, and people come and eat and walk away, and there’s no one to stop them," Haque said.
