Bertucci’s has a new out of state owner

NORTHBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) - A central Massachusetts-based pizza chain has a new owner.

Earl Enterprises is listed as the buyer of Northborough-based Bertucci’s in court documents.

Metro West Daily News reports the Orlando-based company also owns Planet Hollywood and Earl of Sandwich restaurant chains.

Bertucci’s filed for bankruptcy in April, following a decline in sales over several years.

Several locations plan on shuttering. The first Bertucci’s restaurant opened in the early 1980s in Somerville.
