The Great Steak & Potato Franchise has a failure rate of 29% for SBA-backed franchise loans

In 2008, according to Entrepreneur, Great Steak & Potato had 190 U.S. franchises.

By 2011, Great Steak & Potato had just 122 U.S. franchises.

That’s a decline in size by 68 franchises, a reduction by 36% of its entire chain.

It’s likely that Great Steak & Potato franchise owners who received SBA loans may have collateralized their franchise loan with their houses or other personal assets, and nearly half were unable to repay those franchise loans… despite serious incentive to do so.
