Guzman y Gomez US Closures: America Finally Rejects $18 Burritos That Take Longer to Order Than to Eat
America has spoken, and it turns out we prefer our fast-casual burritos to be both fast and casual. In a plot twist that shocks exactly no one, the Australian-owned Guzman y Gomez chain is shuttering multiple US locations, proving that "Australian Mexican food" is apparently as confusing as it sounds. The irony? The chain's founder claimed Americans just didn't "get" their authentic flair—right before investors realized the only thing being wrapped was their margins. Meanwhile, Chipotle's stock barely flinched, and Taco Bell is celebrating by adding another dozen items to its value menu.
