BurgerFi’s Parent Company Files for Bankruptcy Amid Financial Struggles, What’s Next for Long Island’s Last Location?

BurgerFi International, the parent company behind BurgerFi and Anthony’s Coal-Fired Pizza, has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. The Fort Lauderdale-based company, which has faced deepening financial losses in recent months, made the filing in Delaware court, listing up to $500 million in liabilities. The news comes as a blow to the brand’s once-promising growth, particularly on Long Island, where only one BurgerFi location remains standing—Commack.

The financial troubles at BurgerFi mirror a trend seen across the fast-casual sector, where rising costs and consumer cutbacks have led to a challenging landscape. The company has been selling off assets, and TREW Capital Management, known for acquiring chains like Rubio’s, has taken on some of BurgerFi’s debt to help fund the brand temporarily.

BurgerFi currently operates 102 units, including 27 company-owned and 75 franchised locations, while Anthony’s has around 60 units. One BurgerFi location remains operational on Long Island, located at 6234 Jericho Turnpike in Commack.
