After decades of serving the community, the Denny’s restaurant on Merritt Island, located at the intersection of State Road 520 and Courtenay Parkway, has closed permanently. The diner, known for its hearty breakfasts and late-night meals, became a local landmark over the years. The closure reflects broader challenges faced by many long-standing eateries, brought on by the last few years of navigation through a difficult economy, with rising prices compounded by supply chain issues.
