Eegee’s in Arizona Files for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy

[ad_1]
Long-time Tucson and Phoenix staple, Eegee’s, has recently filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy to protect its brand’s legacy amidst economic pressures caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The voluntary petition was filed in Arizona’s federal bankruptcy court on Dec. 6 as the company faced unprecedented challenges. CEO Chris Westcott stated that the restructuring will provide Eegee’s the opportunity to strengthen operations while maintaining quality and service. Eegee’s, known for frozen treats and sub sandwiches, has been a fixture in southern Arizona since the 1970s and expanded to the Valley in recent years, with 25 locations across the state. Chapter 11 cases, often referred to as “reorganization” bankruptcy cases, allow the debtor to remain in possession and continue operating the business. Despite the bankruptcy filing, Eegee’s remains committed to serving its customers and preserving its brand reputation.
