The company filed for bankruptcy last month, claiming to be more than a billion dollars in debt. Officials hope to sell the business to its lenders in return for financing to keep operating. Part of this plan is to close some of its nearly 600 restaurants.

4411 Black Horse Pike, Mays Landing
3003 Route 130 South, Delran
211 Route 17 South, Paramus
