TGI Fridays files for bankruptsyThe parent company of TGI Fridays, the casual dining chain, has filed for bankruptcy, the company said, as it explores a long-term survival plan for the troubled business.

The company said the COVID-19 pandemic was the “primary driver of our financial challenges” and that the Chapter 11 bankruptcy process will allow it to “explore strategic alternatives.”

“The next steps announced today are difficult but necessary actions to protect the best interests of our stakeholders, including our domestic and international franchisees and our valued team members around the world,” Rohit Manocha, the executive chairman of TGI Fridays Inc., said in a statement on Saturday.

The pandemic forced in-person dining establishments to close or pivot their business models, and many struggled to recover. Meanwhile, fresher, faster and cheaper options, like Shake Shack, came for casual dining chains’ lunch.
