"Buffet chain Cici’s has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection and announced its sale to D&G Investors, its primary lender.
While the coronavirus pandemic has lifted sales for pizza chains like Papa John’s, Domino’s Pizza and Yum Brands’ Pizza Hut, buffet-style restaurants like Cici’s saw their sales plunge. All-you-can-eat establishments were already struggling before the crisis, but dining restrictions and consumers’ heightened concern over cleanliness accelerated their decline."

That is a shame. I liked Cici's. I believe the adversity of shut down businesses that want to reopen will need a line of credit to open up.

Place isn't that bad. Multiple varieties of pizza none of which are perfect. I had to see another chain bite the dust due to things like this.
