If you're a Michigan Fazoli's fan who lives for those garlic breadsticks, this news might make you do a bit of a double-take. What Chapter 11 Really Means for RestaurantsFAT Brands Inc., the California restaurant group that had bought the company in 2021, has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. Chapter 11 is the bankruptcy businesses that know they're in trouble, but keep operating. Michigan already saw a couple of Fazoli's close their doors recently here in Michigan, just leaving three stores statewide. At the moment, there's no official word that any additional Michigan locations, or locations nationwide, are about to close because of the Chapter 11 filing.
