Chip City Ends National Expansion Amid Founder Lawsuit and Cash Theft

Chip City, the viral cookie chain founded in Astoria, Queens, has permanently closed all remaining U.S. locations following a sudden shutdown order issued on Thursday. The closure follows a lawsuit filed by co-founder Peter Phillips against the company and its private equity backer, Enlightened Hospitality Investments, alleging breach of contract and wage theft. While the company cited 'macro-economic headwinds' and insufficient funding, internal documents suggest significant financial irregularities, including over $900,000 in disputed expenses. Employees are to be paid through October 18, and a burglary at a Manhattan location has prompted an NYPD investigation.
