Bennigan s Bankruptcy

1
"To all our employees: I must say this is the hardest thing we have ever had to do. It's not only a job we are losing but a family we have here is not replaceable. Thank you for all the hard work, total dedication and commitment to making this place amazing. Love, Jen, Ronda and Jonathon." Managers of Bennigan's restaurants in Calumet City, Deerfield and North Michigan Avenue told Newsradio 780 that they were told this morning of the restaurants' closings, and one manager said the shutdown is nationwide.


That is completely fucked up. Any solid number for the people left jobless by this? Notes on the door informing staff is pretty fucking shitty by any standard.

I can't say I'm shocked considering the industry.

I feel horrible for the staff of any of these places, but I can hope that there's some kind of regeneration through destruction. It's an awful business model.

I did the next best thing and called two different Bennigans locations near my home. Both are open for business and don't know a damn thing about the chain closing. Sounds like someone is spreading an urban legend. (Though given how crap their food is, it wouldn't bother me that much if they went away.)

EDIT: OK, I stand corrected, but the locations not directly owned by Metromedia are staying open, for those who you who still buy into that "eatin' good in the neighborhood" thing.
