Milford HomeTown Buffet to Stay Open
The Milford HomeTown Buffet makes the cut after parent company Buffets, Inc. files for bankruptcy.
Of the four HomeTown Buffet locations in Conn., only the West Hartford location will be shutting down, leaving the restaurants in Milford (74 Turnpike Sq.), Manchester and Wethersfield open for business, according to Buffets, Inc. representative Melissa Sheer.
The company that owns HomeTown Buffet, Buffets Inc., has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganized and has announced plans to close 81 of its restaurant locations nationwide, according to numerous media reports.
Buffets Inc. owns and operates the HomeTown Buffet, Old Country Buffet and several other national buffet restaurant chains, totaling 494 restaurants across the country, according to the Kansas City Business Journal. As part of its bankruptcy reorganization, Buffets Inc. plans to shutter 81 of its restaurants.
The Journal-Inquirer reports that a company spokesman said the locations slated for closure would be released Friday and that they would be closed "promptly."

I am thrilled to hear the" Milford Home Town Buffet" is staying in business, Just last
week I wrote about my mother taking us and her grandchildren to this local buffet.
My mom,Charlotte (Effros) Clark, died 5 years ago in Bridgeport,Ct. When we last visited, of all the countless great restaurants in the area, Home Town Buffet was
Mom's choice. She favored buffets from Milford to Las Vegas to Los Angeles, where her daughters and grandchildren live.
I mentioned on "Facebook" a reunion at Mom's favorite local restaurant. Am so happy to hear that the doors remain open! "See ya all soon"
of all the restaurants this was her favorite to take the family.
