True Food filed for bankruptcy, but its King of Prussia location is still open
The healthy food chain closed a third of its restaurants last week, but the King of Prussia location is one of 34 that are still open as the company looks to sell the brand.
A healthy food chain closed a third of its restaurants nationwide as it declared bankruptcy earlier this month, but the King of Prussia location remains open.
True Food Kitchen and several related entities filed for bankruptcy in Texas on Oct. 4, court filings show, closing 12 restaurants the same day.
But the restaurant, which is right next to the King of Prussia Mall, remains open as of Oct. 12, spokesperson Charlotte Stone said.
“The company will continue to evaluate the business, including its restaurant footprint,” she said.
The CEO told The Inquirer when it opened in 2017 that the brand likes to set up shop “where there are residents with active lifestyles, who are healthy eaters.”
More recently, the chain’s plant-based options landed it on The Inquirer’s list of the suburbs’ best vegan takeout.
A press release suggests that the company hopes to use the bankruptcy to strengthen its operations, although the brand will go up for sale as part of the proceedings.
“This process is the best path forward to simplify the business and focus on what we do best: delivering craveable, health-forward food and genuine hospitality,” CEO Jeff Chandler wrote in the release.
