Twisted Root Burger Co. files for Chapter 11 bankruptcy

Business restrictions meant to curb COVID-19 are behind the company’s precarious financial position, Boso said. Additional safety measures, such as hand sanitizer and social distancing, are hampering Twisted Root’s ability to cover its expenses.

“That's a lot of hurdles to jump, just to get to break even,” Boso said in the statement. “If some components of this equation don't change and we have another spike that requires restaurant closures again, we can expect to see many more restaurants close and forced into Chapter 7 instead of being able to recover via Chapter 11.”

There are 14 Twisted Root locations throughout Texas. All branches are listed as temporarily closed on the company’s website.

A series of renovations began in late 2019 at the Richardson location at 730 E. Campbell Road, where it had been in business for a decade.
