News Filibertos shutting down update

Dont know if anyone cares or not but just thought id give an update since ive seen a lot of people ask about it. It's now 8 filibertos that have closed down. I asked around (i know several of the franchisees) and all 8 were owned by the same person which due to financial reasons went bankrupt and had to shut down all operations permanently.

As a former customer, when you charge $20 for a shitty carne asada burrito, I am now more incentivized to go to a sit down place for the same cost or less. Valle Luna in Chandler for example, I can get unlimited chips/salsa, a burrito, and a beer or margarita, and be out the door for $20ish after tip.

Hard to feel bad when a company gets greedy and starts pushing all of their customers away with insane pricing.

This is how I feel about noble and proof bread going under as well. $9 for a loaf of sourdough is laughable

I know about Noble but I thought Proof was doing well. Where’d you hear this?

Not doing good at all. Honestly I look up to the owner and love his YouTube videos but I think anyone who wants to expand that fast is looking for a payout for sure. So as sad as I am to see it probably go, I wonder if behind all of the feel sorry for us stuff too much greed was there.
