CLOSED FOR BUSINESS
LOUISVILLE (AP) — Chi-Chi's, the Mexican restaurant chain, may have served its last chimichanga. Outback Steakhouse (OSI) this week closed on its $42.5 million deal for the rights to 76 restaurants in the Chi-Chi's chain, which was beleaguered by bankruptcy and a hepatitis outbreak in western Pennsylvania.Outback plans to convert many of the restaurants into its own brands — which include its signature Outback Steakhouse, Carrabba's Italian Grills, Bonefish Grills, Fleming's Prime Steakhouse and Wine Bars, Roy's and Cheeseburger in Paradise restaurants. A statement posted on Louisville-based Chi-Chi's Web site said, "We would like to thank all of our loyal customers of the past 27 years and with a tear in our eye, say Adios." A recorded message on Chi-Chi's toll-free guest relations hot line said the chain was no longer in business and apologized for any inconvenience caused by the closure of its restaurants.


This is a regional chain of Mexican restaurants, this particular Chi-Chi's is next to the Brice Rd./I-70 interchange and next to Bob Evans. An upscale dining room, both the building and the dining area have Mexican decor.

Casual Dining in an Upscale Mexican Restaurant
Chi-Chi's is a great place to hang out either at the bar or at a dining table. Many menu choices and the Margaritas are fantastic!    [24 Mar 2004 20:42:12]
