NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — The owners of local hot chicken chain Party Fowl have filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.
In court documents, the owners say the timing of their expansion to other cities have led to a snowball of debt.
The Cool Springs, Chattanooga and Destin locations were opened in 2020 and then COVID hit, leading to the businesses not generating enough revenue.
The owners intend to file a plan for reorganization in the next 90 days.

September 11, 2001 is a day most associate with terror and tragedy. Austin Pollack shares a story from that day about hope and persistence: the effort to save a little girl’s life – with an organ donation. The problem? The young patient was in Houston, and her life-saving liver here in Nashville. With the grounding of all civilian aircraft, how could it be done? “Nobody ever said this isn’t possible.”
