"As many of its restaurants are positioned in prime 'oil country,' the Debtor has struggled to survive the far-reaching effects of dramatic declines in oil prices," the filing reads. "While waiting for oil-industry related jobs to return as oil prices begin to rebound, the Debtor also faced industry pressure from competing businesses."

The bankruptcy filing further says that many stores were damaged in Hurricane Harvey, and that efforts to keep prices low had slashed profit margins.

As a result, the franchisee has already closed nine locations as of Monday and plans to close roughly 20 more.

Here's the list of Dairy Queens that the franchisee has said are closing:
