After 54 years, Denny’s has decided to permanently shutter its only Oakland, California, location, citing safety concerns due to the area’s high crime rate, Fox Business reported Wednesday.

The restaurant closed on Wednesday afternoon and left a sign on the door explaining it would no longer be in operation because of a lack of safety.

“Denny’s has been honored to serve the Oakland community over the last 54 years,” it read. “Closing a restaurant location is never an easy decision or one taken lightly. However, the safety and well-being of Denny’s team members and valued guests is our top priority. Weighing those factors, the decision has been made to close this location.”

[Oakland has always had its problems, but it’s grown worse of late. In-N-Out announced its first-ever location closure last week over the same concerns, which earned it plenty of angry pushback from progressive activists, but as The Blaze notes, other restaurants are shutting down too for the same reasons. A lack of public safety is fatal to restaurants, which normally operate on very thin profit margins already. Perhaps residents should reserve their anger for their failing public officials who are more interested in progressive sloganeering than in enforcing the law. — Ed]
