It might just be the end for Planta, David Lee's made-in-Toronto plant-based restaurant empire, as the chain filed for bankruptcy. Locations in Florida, Atlanta, New York City, Los Angeles and D.C. all cropped up in short succession, on top of additional Toronto locations, including now-defunct experiments like Planta Cocina and Planta Burger and the still-bustling location on Queen. It would be an understatement to say that Lee and Salm caught a current with Planta that carried them all the way to the bank. Planta's parent company, CHG US Holdings, and 17 other affiliated properties have also filed for creditor protection. Planta currently operates 18 locations across North America.
