Ruby Tuesday closes Daphne restaurant

Ruby Tuesday Inc. said Wednesday that it has closed its Daphne location at 28611 U.S. Highway 98.

Rick Johnson, senior vice president of the Maryville, Tenn.-based company, said there are no plans to close any other locations. “We’ve had that location for a long time, and that lease, frankly, came to an end,” he said.

Kimberly Grant, an executive vice president, said it is not out of the ordinary for the company to close a handful of restaurants each year as leases expire and other sites become available.
