San Jose Bankruptcy Attorney comments on the return of Bob’s Big Boy Restaurants following the parent firm’s bankruptcy
Bob’s Big Boy is back, which is good news to San Diego fans of the pompadour-coiffed hamburger chain that filed for bankruptcy in 2000. The hamburger chain has been gone for nearly two decades, but the current ownership, which purchased the chain in bankruptcy court, has plans to open 10 Bob’s Big Boy restaurants in the next few years in San Diego County. Fifteen restaurants have been opened in California in the past few years, with 10 of them opening during the past two years.
Bob’s left California in the early 1990’s when Marriott, the owner of the California restaurants, converted them to Coco's and Carrows restaurants. When Elias Brother, the Big Boy parent, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in 2000, the current owners stepped in and kept the tradition alive. Big Boy has more than 250 restaurants nationwide, with the majority in the Midwest, near its Michigan’s headquarters.
The chain has seen its ups and downs during its 73-year existence. The current owners are counting on nostalgia as well as the menu offerings to help each of the restaurants they are opening establish profitability very quickly. The portly, plaid-clad mascot has been a welcome sight in the communities where new restaurants have opened. Many of the patrons visiting the restaurants have fond memories of eating there as a child. Now they are bringing their children and grandchildren and continuing a family tradition that went through an interruption but now is back, and better than ever.
