Ross Park Mall Restaurant Files For Bankruptcy
The restaurant has been a popular eatery at the mall for years.
ROSS TOWNSHIP, PA — California Pizza Kitchen, a staple at Ross Park Mall for years, has filed for bankruptcy.
The pizza chain, founded in 1985, said that the Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing will help it "reduce its long-term debt load, and quickly emerge from bankruptcy as a much stronger company." The chain said it will close unprofitable locations but did not specify which ones will be shuttered.
"The unprecedented impact of COVID-19 on our operations certainly created additional challenges, but this agreement from our lenders demonstrates their commitment to CPK's viability as an ongoing business," Jim Hyatt, California Pizza Kitchen CEO, said in a release.
