Update: It Will Be Business as Usual for Roseville's Old Country Buffet and Others in Minnesota

For the second time in four years, the parent company of Old Coungry Buffet has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection from its creditors.

But the reorganzation plans of Eagan-based Buffets Inc. won't adversely affect Old Country Buffets' Roseville location. And none of the company's 13 other restaurants in Minnesota are on a closing list released Friday by Buffets. 

"This location is in no danger of closing," the manager of Old Coutry Buffet in Roseville told Roseville Patch Thursday.

Buffets Inc. operates 494 restaurants across the country, including 14 in Minnesota under various banners.

As part of its bankruptcy plans, announced on Wednesday, the company plans to close 81 "underperforming" restaurants, according to an article in the Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal.

The company owns the Old Country Buffet, HomeTown Buffet, Ryan's, Granny's Buffet and Fire Mountain brands, and currently operates 14 restaurants in Minnesota—including Roseville's .

Buffets, Inc. emerged from its last bankruptcy in 2009. Earlier this year, the company moved to a smaller facility in Eagan; its former headquarters in Eagan was auctioned off and purchased by Prime Therapeutics.
