Karen's Diner largely shut down in the UK in 2024-2025 due to its parent company going bankrupt, mounting debts, rising operating costs (like business rates), and issues with specific franchises, including a Brighton location facing closure after police found significant drug traces (cocaine, heroin, MDMA, ketamine) and severe safety/licensing violations, especially concerning a baby changing table, leading to its permanent closure and the wider chain's collapse.
