Some Floridians are aware that Florida-based BurgerFi has recently filed for bankruptcy. In fact, I covered this story in mid-September. In bankruptcy documents, BurgerFi International indicated that it hopes to continue operations in its restaurants. However, it has now disclosed that it will be closing 10 underperforming Florida locations.

About BurgerFi: This company got its start over a decade ago, in 2011, in Lauderdale-by-the-sea. It is known for its Angus beef burgers and hand-cut fries. The chain has been named as one of USA Today's 10 Best Readers’ Choice Awards for “Best Fast Casual Restaurant” for the past three years.

A reviewer named Nikolas has this to say about a Tampa BurgerFi:

"The food is fresh and tastes amazing. The staff is incredibly friendly, helpful, and accommodating. This without a doubt the best BurgerFi we have ever been to!"

The Upcoming Florida Closures: As part of its bankruptcy, BurgerFi will be NASDAQ delisted and close around two dozen underperforming or "burdensome" stores with 10 being in Florida. The corporate office will reportedly close as well.

The Florida stores that are reportedly closing are as follows:

• The corporate office at 200 W Cypress Creek Road, Suite 220, Fort Lauderdale
• 7959 W Atlantic Ave., Suite 201, Delray Beach
• 6230 W Indiantown Road, Jupiter
• 1955 E. Hallandale Beach Blvd., First Floor Hallandale Beach
• 10590 Pines Blvd., Unit P1A, Pembroke Pines
• 1514 Immokalee Road, Unit 101, Naples
• 12712 Tamiami Trail East, Naples
• 16120 Preserve Marketplace Blvd., Odessa
• 628-3 Atlantic Blvd., No. 1, Neptune Beach
• 10647 Sheldon Road, Tampa
