Does anyone know why Smokey Bones BBQ and Grill are closing??

The ones here in Florida have already been closed recently, and I've heard they're closing more in different places...just curious as to why??Does anyone know why Smokey Bones BBQ and Grill are closing??
They released a statement:

"Unfortunately, in some markets our restaurants have not enjoyed consistent, lasting success. We made the difficult decision to close 54 of these Smokey Bones restaurants after dinner on Friday, May 4."

Don't know if you already know this but Smokey Bones is owned by the same parent company who owns Red Lobster, Olive Garden and Bahama Breeze. Smokey Bones and Bahama Breeze just haven't been able to enjoy the sales success and be as prolific as Olive Garden and Red Lobster.Does anyone know why Smokey Bones BBQ and Grill are closing??
