MOD Pizza, a fast-casual pizza chain that was once among the fastest-growing restaurant concepts in the U.S., is reportedly considering a bankruptcy filing. While plans are not yet final, the company is exploring options to improve its capital structure. The pandemic and inflationary pressures likely impacted its growth trajectory. Former Coopers Hawk executive Beth Scott replaced co-founder Scott Svenson as CEO earlier this year, and the chain has already closed 26 underperforming locations. If MOD Pizza does proceed with bankruptcy, it would be a notable development in the industry, given its previous growth trajectory and popularity.

The MOD Pizza bankruptcy, which seems likely, would be a big, big deal and is likely to make it that much harder for restaurants to get investments or loans. But the chain, much like Red Lobster, is a victim of its own decisions.t.co/pH2zUp0TwS pic.twitter.com/AlhY3tIGea
