News Gordon Biersch Restaurant and Rock Bottom Chain Announce Mass Layoffs

CraftWorks Holdings, which owns the Gordon Biersch Brewery Restaurant chain, Rock Bottom Restaurant & Brewery chain and Logan’s Roadhouse has permanently laid off nearly all of its 18,000 employees and closed its 261 restaurants in response to stay-at-home orders issued in most states due to the coronavirus.
