Furr's (also known as Furr's Cafeteria or Furr's Family Dining) was a chain of family restaurants in the United States started by Roy Furr. The first location opened in Hobbs, New Mexico in 1946. In corporate history it is notable for being a corporation in which an institutional investor TIAA-CREF was able to oust the board of directors.[citation needed] Furr's was purchased by the K mart Corp. in 1980 and subsequently sold by K mart to Michael Levenson's Limited National Partnership in 1988.[1] In 2000 the company established a new name, Furr's Restaurant Group.[2] The company reorganized under Chapter 11 bankruptcy in January 2003.[3] Shortly afterward, the company was sold to a private investment firm, CIC-Buffet Partners, an affiliate of Cardinal Investment Co.[4]
In January 2014 Furr's closed several locations, including Las Cruces, New Mexico,[5] Big Spring, Texas[6] and Wheat Ridge, Colorado. [7] The last Furr's to close its doors, was in Wichita, Kansas. “We are closed for business,” says assistant general manager Tim Arnoldussen. “It’s just a corporate decision.”[8]
