America's sixth-largest burger chain is closing stores as soaring beef costs and customers frustrated with its prices take their toll. According to its recent earnings calls, the company has a ways to go before hitting those goals. Another 13 were shut by August, followed by 47 more closures reported in the company's November earnings. The closings come after years of mounting problems for the burger chain, famous for its Sourdough Jack burgers and all-day breakfast menu. The company said in November that prices from its beef suppliers rose 6.9 percent, further pressuring already thin margins.
