UPDATE @ 2:11pm
Mike Hughes, the Area Director for the Bennigan's operating in Point Pleasant and Athens, says the two locations that he represents will not be closed due to the fact that those are franchise operations.
Hughes says the chapter 7 bankruptcy that Bennigan's corporate filed does not affect either location and both will continue to be open for business.

People are idiots. Not all kids are "sqaulling children." If you don't like kids, don't go to family resturants.
