Spirit Airlines files for chapter 11 bankruptcy protection

By Elizabeth Pritchett , Pilar Arias | Fox Business Spirit Airlines has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection following significant financial struggles due to mounting losses and debt maturities, the airline announced Monday.

In October, Spirit announced plans to sell multiple aircraft and lay off workers as it tried to raise cash and revive operations. READ THE FULL STORY AT FOX BUSINESS

Spirit stock tumbles amid bankruptcy talks

By Veronika Bondarenko | The Street Despite repeated reassurances that Spirit Airlines  (SAVE)  would be able to recover from rising debt and a blocked acquisition by JetBlue Airways  (JBLU) , the airline is now talking to bondholders about a restructuring plan in which a Chapter 11 filing is a possibility.  The news, initially broken by The Wall Street Journal late on Oct. 3, sent shares of the low-cost carrier tumbling more than 40% in after-hours trading to $1.36.

Big Lots files for bankruptcy, will close some stores amid sale to investment firm

By  Pilar Arias | Fox Business About three months after Big Lots noted "substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue" in a U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC) filing, the company said on Monday it has secured $707.5 million to support its operations and sell its business to private equity firm Nexus Capital.

What’s a Red Lobster restaurant worth? Depends where it is located in Colorado

By Jennifer Campbell-Hicks | 9News The online auction ended Thursday for the contents of four closed Colorado Red Lobster restaurants, and the winning bids were in the tens of thousands of dollars. More than 90 Red Lobster locations in at least 27 states were listed as "temporarily closed" on the restaurant's website. A liquidation company held an online auction of Red Lobster kitchen equipment and other contents of the closed restaurant locations, including locations in Colorado. The auctions were winner takes all – meaning, each winner will receive the entire contents of the Red Lobster location they bid on. Perishable goods and alcohol are not included in the auction.

After closing 48 locations, signs of a Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing exist for Red Lobster chain

By Daniel Kline | The Street The big food court in the sky, or maybe it's a downtown entertainment district, features a lot of restaurants that once had a big following. You may not remember them all, but some brands that were once huge, fell into irrelevancy and then went away. Howard Johnson's, for example, used to be a staple of a road trip. If you couldn't find a HoJo's perhaps you would stop at a Big Boy, another chain that was once prominent. In addition, sometimes there are restaurant chains that maybe were never that well-liked but were still a big deal. Fashion Cafe and the Official All-Star Cafe were meant to reproduce the magic of the Hard Rock Cafe or Planet Hollywood but they never caught on. READ THE FULL STORY AT THE STREET
