Overview

  • Since filing for insolvency in March, Sausalitos has reduced its company-owned network from over 40 locations to just 16 active restaurants.
  • The two Berlin branches on Kantstraße and at the Uber Arena closed in mid-July, and the Dortmund site is slated to shut at the end of July.
  • Only company-owned outlets are affected by the insolvency process, with independently operated franchises continuing to serve customers.
  • Michael Schuster has said any location that fails to turn a profit cannot be maintained under insolvency regulations.
  • About 40 potential investors have expressed interest in taking over the chain or individual sites, but no acquisition agreements have been finalized.
