DETROIT — Olga’s Kitchen, a Mediterranean restaurant chain headquartered in Troy, Mich., has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy court protection in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Detroit. Olga’s owes millions in debt to several different creditors, including $2.4 million to Citizen’s Bank and $1.2 million to Sysco Corp., according to Crain’s Detroit Business. The bankruptcy filing came after Olga’s began implementing a strategy to open up to 105 new fast-casual Olga’s locations. Olga’s has closed eight different underperforming locations in the last year alone, reports the Detroit Free Press. Olga’s COO Michael Kosloski states that the company’s 28 remaining locations will stay open throughout the bankruptcy process. “We have had some problems with profitability in the restaurants that we have now fixed,” Kosloski told the newspaper. “The reason we filed for bankruptcy protection is to restructure the debt or to potentially sell the business.”
