Mi Bandera Ltd., which operates a Latin grocery, butcher counter, and eatery at 1965 East Dublin Granville Road in north Columbus, filed a voluntary Chapter 11 bankruptcy petition on Monday, Oct. 12.
The case, No. 2:26-bk-54911, was docketed in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Ohio’s Columbus division. Unlike a Chapter 7 filing, which directs the liquidation of assets to satisfy creditors and ceases business operations, Chapter 11 provides a court-supervised framework that allows a company to restructure its debts while maintaining ongoing operations. The initial docket entry does not establish closure or business failure.
Key financial and administrative details remain undetermined in public filings. Initial court records list no appointed trustee and identify no legal counsel representing the company. Furthermore, formal schedules detailing Mi Bandera’s total assets, total liabilities, and list of top unsecured creditors have not yet been submitted.
The next public step in the proceeding will be for the bankruptcy court clerk to schedule an initial meeting of creditors under Section 341 of the Bankruptcy Code, where creditors may examine the debtor under oath regarding the business’s financial condition and reorganization plans.
