Ruby Tuesday will permanently close 185 stores that had shut their doors during the pandemic, leaving 236 operating locations
Maryville, Tenn.-based casual-dining restaurant chain Ruby Tuesday on Wednesday filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, citing the “unprecedented impact” of the COVID-19 on their business.

The remaining 236 company-owned restaurants will operate as usual while Ruby Tuesday uses the filing to “strengthen its business by reducing liabilities and emerge a stronger organization built for the future.” As of Wednesday, the company also had 7,000 company-wide furloughed employees as a result of the store closures...
