Nov 13 (NHK) - Japanese family-restaurant operator Skylark Holdings has announced plans to close about 200 branches by the end of next year.
It says some of the restaurants are unprofitable, and it's aiming to improve its performance, which has suffered due to the coronavirus.
It also says it will not reduce its workforce for the time being, but will take other measures, such as transferring employees to new stores or different divisions.
