It's hard to remember a year where more restaurant chains have gone through financial struggles than 2024. Another Chicago-based company with 10 Illinois locations is now suddenly in bankruptcy court, too.
It's not easy trying to be a restaurant these days and national chains are certainly not excluded. Multiple reports say that a pizza chain that currently has 22 restaurants in Illinois is exploring bankruptcy possibilities.
Well, this came out of nowhere. A major apparel retailer has suddenly declared bankruptcy and announced it would close 100 stores and that includes Missouri locations although the exact number in the state is uncertain.
