I have noticed over the past two months that several of the remaining older Skippers locations have closed down. One near Clackamas Town Center in Portland, and I have also noticed closures in Lacey, WA as well as one near Tacoma. I am not sure if these were franchised units or what, but they were all older and probably in need of remodeling. I know the Clackamas one was in sorry shape when I ate there about two years ago.
For what it's worth though, the Longview Skippers is still doing ok.
I really hope that the remaining operators are doing what they can to keep things going. A lot of the older locations need to be updated though.
