"The parent company of one of Boston’s best-known tap rooms has filed for bankruptcy protection. Sunset Partners Inc. — the parent company of Allston’s popular Sunset Grill & Tap — has filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the federal Bankruptcy Code. The decision was prompted by concerns that the Department of Revenue would take action because of uncollected back taxes totaling approximately $500,000, according to David Madoff, attorney for Sunset Partners. Patrons needn’t worry too much, however, as the bankruptcy filing won’t affect service in the near future. The bar’s extensive craft-beer menu — more than 100 on tap, another 150 in bottles — will still be available and there are no current plans for downsizing. “The business still operates well day-to-day and sales are good,” said Madoff. “We just have to deal with some of this debt.” Sunset Grill & Tap and its sister establishment Sunset Cantina were purchased from founder Marc Kadish in 2014 by Ara Balikian and longtime Boston restaurateur Marc Berkowitz (right), brother of Legal Sea Foods president and CEO Roger Berkowitz.

Pictures of bus stop and billboard ads have been posted to social media. The ad reads: ‘‘Made in America, but we’d be happy to talk about our ties to Russia under oath.’’ Former FBI director James Comey testified under oath that he believes he was fired by President Trump because of the Russia investigation, which Trump has called ‘‘a witch hunt.’’ Trump now says he’s willing to testify under oath. Smirnoff has been made in America for decades but its roots go back to Russia."

"Children’s clothing retailer Gymboree Corp. is filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, the latest sign of traditional retailers’ struggles as shoppers shun stores and buy online. The San Francisco-based company says it is seeking to reduce its debt by $900 million. It expects to operate its business and majority of its 1,300 stores during the restructuring. Gymboree is the latest retailer to file Chapter 11, close stores, or go out of business entirely in 2017. Shoe chain Payless ShoeSource filed for bankruptcy protection in April and The Limited closed all 250 of its remaining stores early this year. Teen retailer Wet Seal in January said it would close its 171 stores. Gymboree says it secured $35 million in new financing to keep the company operating through the Chapter 11 process...."
