One of the top spots to grab a steak and take a bite of the world-famous Bloomin' Onion has just made a big move.  Unfortunately, this big move by Outback Steakhouse is pretty heartbreaking for several locations that have now closed throughout 8 states.

Based on input shared on the Fast Company website, Bloomin' Brands, which owns Outback Steakhouse, has done a periodic review and decided to close a few locations throughout the United States.  This past year, the stock price for Bloomin' Brands fell more than 42%.  These closures are part fo their "turnaround effort".
