True Food Kitchen files for Chapter 11, closing 12 sites including San Diego's UTC location
True Food Kitchen has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, closing 12 restaurants nationwide, including its San Diego UTC location, while retaining 34 sites across 14 states. The Arizona-based chain secured $20 million in financing to support a court-supervised sale process aimed at finding a long-term partner. The filing follows years of leadership turnover, pandemic-related disruptions, and financial struggles despite a 2018 investment by Oprah Winfrey.
