Bloomin' Brands cutting 100 corporate jobs in Tampa

Tampa-based restaurant giant Bloomin’ Brands is laying off about 100 employees in its restaurant supply operations in the city.

The layoffs, which are happening Thursday, Feb. 20, amount to 17% of its employees in the company’s restaurant supply workforce and, according to public filings, includes workers across various operational units that support corporate administration and restaurant operations.

The company disclosed the cuts to investors Thursday morning in an SEC filing. It says in the filing that the cuts are meant to “align (Bloomin’s) cost structure with the current size of its business following the strategic re-franchising of its Brazil operations in December 2024, ongoing challenging industry trends and increased focus on high priority growth opportunities and operational efficiency.”
