The owner of the Joe's Crab Shack casual dining chain filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on Tuesday amid falling sales, and plans to sell the company for at least $50 million to a private equity firm, according to a court filing.

Ignite Restaurant, which also owns the Brick House Tavern + Tap chain, has been closing weaker locations and began to pursue a sale of the business last year, according to court documents....

Guess the YMCA dance gig by men cavorting as the Village People just did not go over all that well after all with normal people.

On the bright side Joe's Herpes Hut is doing a brisk business.

Selling to a private equity firm?  Like Bain Capital?

Doesn't sound good for the chains' employees.

Used to like Joe's, but the menu changed and now, something is off.  I guess teetering on the verge of bankruptcy will do it.
