BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — Krystal Co., the Georgia-based restaurant chain known for tiny hamburgers and late-night service across the Southeast, has filed for bankruptcy, but said Tuesday that all of its locations would remain open.

Federal court documents showed Krystal sought Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in Atlanta. The company said it owed between $50 million and $100 million to suppliers, equipment companies and others.

Krystal has about 300 restaurants in 10 states, 182 of which employ 4,890 people and are operated by the company, restructuring officer Jonathan M. Tibus said in a court filing. Another 116 are run by franchisees, he said.

Krystal previously closed more than 40 restaurants, including 13 that shut down in December, over the past year, according to court documents.

A Trump tweetstorm

As Democrats presented their case, Trump blasted the proceedings from afar, joking that he would face off with Democrats by coming to “sit right in the front row and stare at their corrupt faces.” Trump, who returned Wednesday from a global leaders conference in Davos, Switzerland, set a presidential record for activity on his favorite social media platform, sending at least 124 tweets in a single day, according to Factbase, a service that compiles and analyzes data on Trump’s presidency.

The previous record for tweets was set on the day last month that the House Judiciary Committee opened its marathon session to approve two articles of impeachment against the president.

Demonstrator removed

Just before dinner, Capitol police swiftly grabbed and dragged out of the chamber a man in the visitors’ gallery who was yelling. As he was being held in a hallway outside the chamber, the gray-haired man could be heard shouting, “Dismiss the charges!” He also yelled “you’re hurting me!” as police subdued him.

What’s ahead

Democrats will continue arguments through Friday under rules approved by the Senate. Trump’s lawyers will then have up to three days to rebut the Democrats’ case.

Trump’s legal team passed on an opportunity Wednesday to file a motion to dismiss the case, an acknowledgment that there were not enough Republican votes to support it.
