"I learned that Punch Bowl Social's Chicago outpost in Fulton Market, a Denver-based gaming-and-dining chain, has been temporarily closed longer than anticipated; the brand declared bankruptcy in late December and filed notice it could lay off as many as 50 workers amid a prior power struggle among former executives that left the location's fate uncertain, though the company says it is diligently working on reopening plans and issued the required 60-day layoff notice because of legal limits on furloughs." - Naomi Waxman
