American diner chain Monterey Jack's is shutting down their popular Merchant Square venue.
They cited energy prices combined with prices of produce and paying rent as the reason they were struggling to 'survive'.

In a statement shared on social media, they wrote: "Sorry guys! We have tried our best!
"With the cost of energy, goods etc and the cost of trying to survive with the costs our landlord's levy we simply cannot survive.
"We love you and thank you but must bid you farewell!"
Monterey Jack's specialises in burgers, fried chicken, waffles and a range of desserts and has sites across the country.
These are still operating at Glasgow Fort, XSite Braehead, Hamilton, East Kilbride, Falkirk, Perth, Dunfermline, and Stirling.
The closure of their city centre chain comes after we reported that Route 32, a takeaway in the East End, said an emotional farewell to customers after their final day of trading.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
