On the Border closes another Michigan location. Where 2 restaurants remain open
The Tex-Mex chain's last location in southeast Michigan, its Allen Park restaurant, has permanently closed. A bankruptcy filing in March had said three locations remained open in the state, now only two are open.
The restaurants that remain open both are in the Grand Rapids area, in Grandville and in Woodland Mall in Kentwood.
Here's what to know.
The On the Border restaurant in Allen Park, Michigan, is permanently closed, according to a Google search and Facebook. The chain's website displays a "page not found," message for the location's profile.
On the Border Mexican Grill & Cantina is a Tex-Mex style restaurant chain founded in 1982, the chain's website says.
Only 12 years after the opening of the restaurant, Brinker International acquired the company and opened the first franchised location. By 2001, more than 100 restaurants were open across the U.S. and in 2007, the restaurant went international, opening locations in South Korea.
In 2010 the company, as well as 160 restaurants, was sold to Golden Gate Capital, which then turned around to sell it to Argonne Capital Group in 2014, court records say.
The company website shows locations in California, Nevada, Illinois, Indiana, Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Colorado, South Dakota, Arkansas, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Maryland, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Connecticut.
On the Border has closed over 70 locations since the company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in March 2025.
A group of 40 restaurants closed in February 2025 included four Michigan locations: Auburn Hills, Holland, Novi and Westland.
The Tex-Mex chain is now down to two locations in Michigan. These two restaurants:
In Grandville, 3676 Potomac Circle
In Kentwood, 3195 28th St. SE

Review — Red Lobster's Viral New Seafood Boils
Stepping into the Times Square Red Lobster, a chill went down my spine. It could have been the ice-cold AC hitting me, overheated and drenched from a heavy summer rain. It could have been the lobsters in the small aquarium, begging for rescue as we passed them, ascending the stairs to the dining room. Or it could have been the memories of Red Lobster visits of yore, stuck between my dad and my brother, in front of me a large portion of shrimp linguine, my eyes far too big for my stomach. Still, I was acutely aware of the fact that this was my first time back at Red Lobster in over a decade. I had to put these thoughts behind me and lock in. Besides the Cheddar Bay Biscuits (more thoughts on these later), I had one goal in mind: Red Lobster's new seafood boil. In May of 2024, Red Lobster filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, with their former CEO, Jonathan Tibus, listing many woes, including "a difficult macroeconomic environment, a bloated and underperforming restaurant footprint, failed or ill-advised strategic initiatives, and increased competition within the restaurant industry.' Now, only a year later, the restaurant chain says they have exited bankruptcy protection, having been approved for a new reorganization plan. A recent TikTok posted from the official Red Lobster account announcing the new seafood boils has over two million views, with users commenting with outrageous levels of support. 'CEO popped off,' writes one user. 'He figured us ladies out to a T… seafood boils, margs, and cheddar bay biscuits.' Hard to argue with that. With that spirit in mind, my friend and I slid into a long row of booths and assessed the menu. Before we could even crack open the large plastic tomes, a warm plate of Cheddar Bay Biscuits hit the table. Besides Outback's Bloomin' Onion, the Cheddar Bay Biscuits sit at the top of the chain-restaurant food chain like a Great White Shark. The warm, buttery pockets of salt and garlic have stood the test of time, viral even before the age of the internet. I'm happy to report that they're still very good, yielding a light and buttery crumb. Finishing off a second biscuit, I knew these would be hard to beat. Hey, you!

Red Lobster's new seafood boil has a couple of different options for you to choose from: There are also a few different flavor options, like Cajun Butter, Old Bay and Parmesan, and our pick, Roasted Garlic Butter, with the option to choose your spice level, a change as of early July, which was announced in a TikTok featuring the company's new CEO, Damola Adamolekum. The video has been viewed by over five million users. Like a hot air balloon, the seafood boil arrived in a plastic bag filled with steam. Our server untied the bag and set us up with claw crackers, plastic gloves, Red Lobster-branded bibs, and plenty of wet wipes — an omen of messier things to come. The sodium tidal wave of salty garlic butter hit me harder than I expected. It did exactly what it was supposed to do, disguising the mediocre lobster and shrimp with a flavor bomb that you couldn't convincingly argue was bad. When I eat seafood, I relish in the flavor of the fish or crustacean that I'm enjoying. In other words, I'm not eating shrimp cocktail for the cocktail sauce. The same can be said here. With so much going on in the dish itself, I felt it fair to rank each item individually: 6. The Corn: Soggy and dull, the quarter ear of corn had that classic canned corn taste that I avoided as a child. I still avoid it today. 5. The Crab Legs: Didn't yield a lot of meat and was very overshadowed by the oppressive garlic butter. (The proof...) 4. The Potatoes: Honestly, kind of perfectly cooked? But a potato is a potato. Hard to dislike them, especially with all that butter. 3. The Lobster Tail: I got a bit more lobster flavor here than I did from the crab legs, but still, it was hard to notice it over all that garlic butter noise. 2. The Shrimp: A step ahead of the lobster tail, only because of how snappy the shrimps were. Great texture and bite. 1. The Smoked Sausage: Okay, actually something pretty delicious happening here! The slices of sausage were just as smoky as promised, offering a little bit of depth in a dish that felt dominated by the seafood boil flavor we chose. Descending the stairs back down to the heart of Times Square, a to-go bag of Cheddar Bay Biscuits in my tote and my hands ripe with the scent of lemon wet wipes, I gave a subtle nod to the lobsters in the tank towards the exit. I thought, with a chuckle, that there is no more iconic end for them as a species than in a dish at the Times Square Red Lobster. I just wish, for their sake, it was an end that was a little bit more delicious. Would you try Red Lobster's seafood boil? Let us know in the comments.

Grupo Herdez SAB de CV (GUZOF) Q2 2025 Earnings Call Highlights: Navigating Growth Amidst Challenges
Release Date: July 24, 2025 For the complete transcript of the earnings call, please refer to the full earnings call transcript. Positive Points Grupo Herdez SAB de CV (GUZOF) achieved a 4.4% year-over-year increase in net sales for Q2 2025, reaching 9.7 billion pesos. The preserve segment was a key growth driver, with a 4.7% increase in the quarter and 7.5% for the first half of the year. The export segment grew by 12% for the quarter, driven by volume and expansion efforts, including a new distribution partner in Canada. Consolidated net income increased by 23.6% to 269 million pesos in the quarter, driven by reduced financing costs and increased contributions from Mega Mex. The company expects a more positive second half of the year, with anticipated growth in preserves and impulse segments. Negative Points Major clients reduced inventory significantly, impacting sales performance and working capital. The impulse segment faced challenges, with a 0.6% decline in sales due to heavy rainfall affecting Lados Nestle performance. Consolidated gross margin contracted by 0.8 percentage points due to higher raw material costs. Free cash flow turned negative this quarter, attributed to lower sales and inventory buildup. The gross margin at Mega Mex decreased by 70 basis points due to continued pressure from avocado prices. Q & A Highlights Warning! GuruFocus has detected 4 Warning Signs with FRA:NQ9. Q: Given volumes rose this quarter, how are you thinking about the balance between pricing and volume for the second half of 2025? A: We expect the balance to be half and half, with volume growth in the low single digits and the rest coming from price adjustments. - Gerardo Cannavati, Chief Financial and Information Officer Q: With recent tariffs and trade tensions, how will you manage avocado price volatility in the second half? A: As long as our products are covered under the current trade agreement, we are not subject to tariffs. If changes occur, we are prepared to adjust prices and absorb some pressures in the short term. So far, we haven't needed to change our pricing strategy. - Gerardo Cannavati, Chief Financial and Information Officer Q: Free cash flow turned negative this quarter. Was the inventory build mainly precautionary or tied to promotional strategies? Should we expect a reversal in the third quarter? A: It's a combination of lower sales and not adjusting inventory quickly enough. We expect to end the year with better working capital, with a need for working capital in the range of 200 to 300 million pesos. - Gerardo Cannavati, Chief Financial and Information Officer Q: What are your views on the consumer environment in Mexico, especially with weather impacts on impulse brands? A: Weather impacted our ice cream business, reducing traffic in convenience stores. There's segmentation across the country, with shifts from mom-and-pop stores to modern retail. Overall, consumption is soft, but we expect it to pick up in the late third quarter. - Gerardo Cannavati, Chief Financial and Information Officer Q: Can you provide more details on your expectations for the second half of the year regarding sales and profitability? A: We expect sales growth in preserves to be in the high single digits, while impulse sales will grow in the low double digits. Export sales will be down due to softness in major categories and exchange rate effects. We anticipate net consolidated income to grow in the mid-double digits. - Gerardo Cannavati, Chief Financial and Information Officer For the complete transcript of the earnings call, please refer to the full earnings call transcript.
