TGI Fridays suddenly closes more restaurants. Here are some of the locations.

TGI Friday's quietly closed dozens of restaurant locations last week as the chain reportedly prepares to file for bankruptcy protection. 

The company's store locater currently lists 164 locations in the U.S., down from the 213 that were open last week, CNN first reported. 

The sudden closures come after the value-restaurant chain previously closed 36 "underperforming" restaurants across 12 U.S. states in January. TGI Friday's at the time said the move was part of its "ongoing growth strategy."
