EYM King of Michigan, a business that owns 26 Burger King franchises in Michigan, including twelve in Detroit, has decided to close all of its locations in the state by April 15.
A WARN notice has been filed with Michigan's Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity stating the closures are due to "unforeseen business circumstances."
This will result in the loss of 424 jobs, including general managers and shift managers. Some of the stores have already closed.
