A popular Colorado landmark has filed for bankruptcy amid the crippling COVID-19 crises. Casa Bonita has filed for chapter 11 protection. Summit Family Restaurants, the company that owns the Lakewood restaurant, filed for chapter 11 protection in Arizona on April 6, according to court documents obtained by Denver7. The documents did not specify the exact amount of debt the company owes. However, the filing states that the company’s noncontingent liquated debts are below $7.5 million. Casa Bonita has been closed during the pandemic, but recently announced that they would be reopening soon. No additional details were provided. In November 2020, Denver7 spoke to Bob Wheaton, the president of Summit Family Restaurants. At the time there were rumors the popular spot wouldn't reopen, but Wheaton assured that wasn't the case.
