Uno Pizzeria Files Chapter 11 Bankruptcy

San Jose Bankruptcy Attorney talks pizza...

Pizza lovers in San Jose as well as San Jose Bankruptcy Attorneyshttp://www.bkanswers.com/lawyer-attorney-1402957.html may want to know that Boston based UNO’s has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.

Our San Jose Bankruptcy Attorney noticed that the first Uno's opened in 1943 in Chicago. Spencer, the current chairman, opened the first Boston location in 1979 and started expanding the chain in the mid-1980s, according to the company Web site.

According to CBS news, a 2005 private equity takeover burdened Uno’s with debt and Uno’s parent company filed for Chapter 11 recently.

CBS news reports that privately owned Uno Restaurant Holdings Corp. said a majority of its bond holders had agreed to convert $142 million in senior secured debt into a 96 percent equity stake in the reorganized company. That conversion is part of a prearranged restructuring the company hopes a bankruptcy judge will approve.

Still, fear not pizza fans. CEO Frank Guidara said the company doesn’t expect the filing to disrupt the restaurants. In a statement made to the associated press Guidara was quoted as stating, “Our goal is to get on the other side of our balance sheet problem, and this is going to get us there."
