Sizzler closes another restaurant, leaving only nine in Australia

One of Australia's last remaining Sizzler restaurants is set to close its doors, leaving only a handful left across the country.

The restaurant, located in Rockhampton's Stockland Shopping Centre, will be shut down due to redevelopment plans for the mall.

Parent company Collins Foods Limited confirmed Sizzler Rockhampton would not reopen once the renovations are complete, with the restaurant set to cease trading after 31 years of operation.

"Collins Foods Limited has confirmed it will close its Rockhampton Sizzler restaurant with the closure coinciding with the redevelopment of the Stockland shopping centre," a spokeswoman told nine.com.au.

"Sizzler Rockhampton will trade as usual until its last day, Sunday, March 1, 2020.

"The announcement relates to Sizzler Rockhampton only and all other Sizzler restaurants remain open for business."

Collins said it is working with affected staff to find new job opportunities.

"Collins is working with the managers and team members at Sizzler Rockhampton regarding possible employment opportunities at other Collins foods restaurants, and outplacement support as needed," she said.

"We want to thank our employees for their dedication, and our guests for their loyalty, over the last 31 years."

The Rockhampton Sizzler building is set to be demolished after the closure, bringing the remaining number of Sizzler restaurants down to just nine.

Locations include Caboolture, Loganholme, Maroochydore, Mermaid Beach and Toowoomba in Queensland, Campbelltown in NSW and Innaloo, Kelmscott and Morley in Western Australia.
