On the Border has joined the growing list of restaurant chains forced to bite the economic bullet in recent months.

It filed for bankruptcy earlier in March, and up until now, we only knew which states were going to be hit by the closures, The US Sun shared.

Now, the full list has been revealed as fans prepare to say goodbye to their local spot, as reported by USA Today.

In court records, On the Border's Chief Restructuring Officer Jonathan Tibus said: "On The Border has been weighed down in recent years by macroeconomic factors that have negatively impacted the Company.

"Casual dining restaurants are acutely impacted by consumer sensitivities to eating out versus staying in.

"And because inflationary pressures, restaurant menu prices across the industry have risen significantly faster than grocery and other consumer prices."

 Chris Rockwood, the president of On the Border, added: "

"This restructuring is the best path forward for On The Border.

"It allows us to address several financial and operational challenges and emerge stronger and refocused on our growth.

"The support we’ve received from our vendors and lenders will help ensure that we can complete the sale process quickly and efficiently while remaining focused on our employees and guests.

"The Company intends to use the (bankruptcy) proceedings to drive operational improvements and pursue a sale of substantially all of its assets."

Other factors that have been cited include labor shortages and creditor enforcement actions.

At the time of filing, On the Border had 60 company-operated restaurants across the US.

However, records show the company has already axed more than 70 locations.

Some On the Border locations listed in the court filings have already been closed.

At the time of the filing, it was also noted that On the Border employed about 2,800 people.
