Yeah, as others have inferred Chapter 11 doesn't mean to much from the public perspective. It is "reorganization" and trustee managed, potentially shedding some debt. Ordinarily, they keep businesses operating and they continue on after the reorganization. Just like a Chapter 7 bankruptcy doesn't mean much from an individual perspective (most people keep everything). Large franchises often trim off a few underperforming stores - e.g. ones that turn a loss.
So... you'll still be able to have a sopapilla and shit your pants if you really want to.
I hope they make it through the reorganization. I'm not anxious to eat at Casa Bonita again, but there's still a part of me that'd be disappointed to see it close. I first went there as a little kid visiting my cousins in Lakewood and have been many times since. My brother's "little" girls (now 19 and 22) first visited as young children. We took their softball team there after a tournament one weekend. I'm pretty sure my niece took her Aerospace Engineering nerd friends from CU Boulder to Casa Bonita sometime during their sophomore year. Lots of memories.
No longer accepting new Trust clients. Pretty much out of the law business completely.
I've said it here before, but I've eaten much worse food at restaurants than Casa Bonita.
I remember spending much of my lost youth at the arcade next door. I remember both of my sisters working there when they were in high school...and a whole bottle of Joy in the fountain one night.
Light a fire for a man, and he'll be warm for a day, light a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life...
Discussion is an exchange of intelligence. Argument is an exchange of
ignorance. Ever found a liberal that you can have a discussion with?
ok, thats pretty good i have to admit.
