Ovation Brands

Ovation Brands owns a number of popular national buffet restaurant chains, including Old Country Buffet, Ryan’s Buffet, Country Buffet, and HomeTown Buffet. In 2016, the company filed for bankruptcy and closed most of its stores with little notice to the employees who worked at each location. It is possible that the difficulties Ovation Brands face has to do with eating trends of Americans, where smaller portions of more freshly prepared foods have become more desirable.
