Darrin Straughan, president of JCI Grill, formerly known as James Coney Island, says closing all of the hot dog restaurants Inner Loop locations has made the company stronger.

, the former JCI Grill on South Shepherd Drive was worth $1.3 million in early 2022, and the former Westheimer location more than $2 million.

In the second year of the pandemic, JCI sold nine more of the 15 stores it had left, all also"underperforming," in Straughan's words, though the company continues to lease and operate three of them while the buyers looks for new tenants, he said. When that happens, JCI Grill will be left with just six of its original stores.

JCI's current state may not look as pretty, and certainly isn't as comfortable as it was prior to 2018, Straughan said. But he believes the strategic decision to cut down on locations has helped JCI become a stronger company than it was during the pandemic, and will help facilitate new growth. "Across the U.S., we have seen a shift to more suburban locations and the closure or consolidation of more urban locations," Chick said."The reason why we're seeing that is mostly due to hybrid work models."
