My Sbarro's Update

Earlier this year, I blogged about Sbarro's filing for chapter 11, and today, I read an article about "zombie" restaurant chains that just keep on pulling though (http://finance.yahoo.com/news/slicing-costs-still-serving-160802334.html). On November 29, Sbarro's exited Chapter 11 bankruptcy (http://nrn.com/article/sbarro-exits-chapter-11). With some restructuring, loans from lenders, and most likely people cutting back on healthy food during the recession, the chain has come back from the crypt. I'm personally glad that this food court staple has a second chance. Though the Sbarro's doesn't have a significant signature dish in the way that your order a Whopper from BK or a McBlank from McDonalds, I just like Sbarro's because you can never go wrong with a slice of pizza (well maybe sometimes you can, but it sure beats some mystery meat sandwich!)
