Two Ponderosa restaurants to be closed
Published October 9, 2008 - BizTimes Daily
The Ponderosa restaurants at 204 W. Layton Ave., Milwaukee, and at 3518 Kohler Memorial Drive, Sheboygan, will close Friday, managers at the restaurants confirmed today.
The restaurants are owned by Plano, Texas-based Metromedia Restaurant Group. S&A Restaurant Group, a subsidiary of Metromedia and the parent company of national chains Bennigan's and Steak and Ale, filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy protection in July and closed hundreds of restaurants.
At the time, Metromedia said its Ponderosa restaurants would not be affected. Now Metromedia is closing Ponderosa restaurants, including the locations in Sheboygan and on Layton Avenue.
Franchise-owned Ponderosa restaurants, such as the location at 2730 N. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Drive, Milwaukee, will not be affected and will remain open.
