A week after BurgerFi said all of its U.S. restaurants would remain open following its Sept. 11 filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection , the Fort Lauderdale-based chain has already closed at least two in Florida, including one in the Jacksonville area.
Restaurants in Neptune Beach and Naples are no longer listed on BurgerFi’s website or have active licenses with the state. Seven others are no longer listed on the company’s website but still had active licenses on Friday. It wasn’t immediately clear whether those locations had closed.
Following the closure of its restaurant at 628-3 Atlantic Blvd. at the Seminole Shoppes in Neptune Beach, three other Jacksonville-area locations remain open: 108 Riverside Ave., No. 501, at Brooklyn Station and 4890 Big Island Drive at Markets at Town Center in Jacksonville; and 345 Beachwalk Shore Dr. which just opened at Beachwalk in Saint Johns. BurgerFi also has a location at Jacksonville International Airport.
The closings, which also extend to a handful of BurgerFi-owned Anthony’s Coal Fired Pizza & Wings locations, were first reported by the South Florida Business Journal .
