The staff of two restaurants in the Kansas City area had a disappointing start to the Thanksgiving holiday.
Two Big Biscuit locations in Independence and Blue Springs unexpectedly closed right before Thanksgiving, leaving employees and customers surprised. The specific addresses of the closed restaurants are 16506 E. U.S. Highway 40 in Independence and 530 N.W. Highway 7 in Blue Springs.

Big Biscuit, a renowned breakfast restaurant chain, has established itself as a favorite among patrons with its wide network of more than twenty locations spanning across Kansas, Missouri, and Oklahoma. The inception of this chain dates back to the year 2000 when it was founded by the visionary entrepreneur, Dan Gerson.
