The Bennigan's restaurant chain filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy protection this week, and will be liquidating all of its company-owned locations, including two locations in the Boston area.

According to the Associated Press, the approximately 160 Bennigan's locations that are owned by franchisees will remain open, while the approximately 150 company-owned Bennigan's locations will shut down.

The two Bennigan's locations that will be closing in Eastern Massachusetts are in Boston (Park Plaza) and Peabody.
