A claim circulating on social media alleges that Primanti Bros. closed 10 locations following a fallout over a visit by Republican vice presidential candidate JD Vance. The claim originated on a satirical website and there is no evidence to support it. In reality, the restaurant has not closed any locations since Vance’s visit. The chain found itself embroiled in controversy after Vance’s visit to one of its locations, with conflicting reports from restaurant officials and GOP officials regarding the incident. The claim is an example of “stolen satire,” where satirical stories are reposted as legitimate news. USA TODAY and other fact-checking sources have debunked various claims involving Vance. Primanti Bros. has not made any announcements regarding closures on its website or social media. The claim has been debunked by fact-checkers, including Check Your Fact. Readers are encouraged to verify the credibility of sources before sharing information.
