Sticky’s, a New York-based fried chicken chain, may shut down all its locations due to financial struggles. The company, which has been in business for 12 years, was severely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Its dependence on foot traffic and general restaurant hardships made it hard for Sticky’s to recover.
In 2024, Sticky’s filed for bankruptcy, but recently lost a bid to modify its filing. A $2 million cash offer from Harker Palmer Investors could help reduce debt, but a federal Justice Department watchdog is pushing back against the deal due to concerns about excessive legal protection. If the deal falls through, Sticky’s may be forced to close all restaurants.
The future of Sticky’s locations remains uncertain as of now, with no clear timeline for closures. The situation is closely watched by bankruptcy observers and investors.
