Etta Bucktown News (Important Email Message)

[funnyinterestingcool]

Dear Valued Patrons,

We hope this message finds you well. As a cherished member of the etta family, we are reaching out personally to address some updates and express our gratitude for your incredible support. Your unwavering loyalty has been a shining light for us, especially during these challenging times. Despite the unprecedented hurdles we've faced, your support has been a source of inspiration.

This past year has been particularly tough for the restaurant industry, and we were not immune to these challenges. The unexpected closure of our River North location spurred us to apply for protection under Chapter 11, subchapter 5 of the US Bankruptcy Code.

This decision, made with careful consideration, is vital for our continued success. What does this mean for you, our valued patrons? The rest of the etta locations will continue to operate as usual. We remain dedicated to delivering the exceptional dining experience you've come to expect, and our day-to-day operations will continue without interruption.

Addressing the River North protest on February 7th, outside our Bucktown restaurant, we want to assure you that we were already taking steps to resolve our River North teams payroll. Public court documents will show that we had successfully petitioned the courts on Tuesday, February 6th.Thankfully, this payment was processed less than 36 hours after payroll was due.

As we navigate this strategic reorganization, your continued patronage is invaluable. We are filled with optimism about the future and eagerly anticipate embarking on this new chapter with you by our side. Thank you for being an integral part of our journey.

Warmest regards,

Your Etta Team
