Blue C Sushi Suddenly Closes All Locations, Laying Off All Employees [Updated] - Eater Seattle
"Seattle-based sushi chain Blue C Sushi looks to be out of business today, with all staff receiving an email over the weekend announcing the closure of all locations. The announcement of the closure — and by extension, that all employees would be terminated — was sent out by email to every Blue C Sushi employee Sunday evening by a representative of Madison Holdings, Inc., the company that owns Blue C. In a copy of the email sent to Eater, “unexpected financial and other circumstances” were cited as the reason. Almost all employees were terminated effective Sunday (January 6), with a caveat that some might be called in this week to help with final clean-ups. Over 15 years in business, Blue C Sushi and its conveyor belt-driven operation grew to seven locations — five in Seattle and suburbs, and two in the Los Angeles area." - Tim Forster
