Buca di Beppo files for bankruptcy as Ohio location set for demolition

COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) -- Buca di Beppo, whose Worthington restaurant is set to be demolished after the site was bought for $2.5 million by Chick-fil-A, has filed for bankruptcy.

The Orlando-based Italian eatery filed for Chapter 11 on Sunday as the company said it owes at least $15 million to $50 million to at least 30 creditors, court documents show. The move comes after the chain abruptly closed more than a dozen locations last week, including eateries in Arizona, Michigan, Colorado, Indiana, Illinois and Pennsylvania.
