Manny's deal delayed - again

Text Size: AaAaAaAaAa

STERLING – Lots of people in the Twin Cities are eagerly awaiting the opening of a Manny's Pizza restaurant.

The pizza chain previously planned to buy the building at 3900 E. Lincolnway, which housed Ryan's Family Steakhouse.

My news for Manny's fans is not great:

Kathy Kingery, daughter of owner Manny Castro, said Tuesday that a bankruptcy filed by Ryan's parent company, Buffets Inc., has delayed the deal.

Buffets filed for bankruptcy in January. The company also filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in January 2008.

Stay tuned for more details.
