TooJay’s in Waterford Lakes closes as deli emerges from bankruptcy

West Palm Beach-based TooJay’s Deli is emerging from bankruptcy under new owners but has closed at least some restaurants, including one in the east Orange County community of Waterford Lakes.

Founded in 1981 with a single location in Palm Beach, the company’s website currently shows 21 restaurants in Florida. Prior to the bankruptcy filing, the website listed 30 Florida restaurants.

The Waterford Lakes location at 715 N. Alafaya Trail is listed online as permanently closed. The company still lists Central Florida locations in Orlando, Dr. Phillips, Altamonte Springs, Lake Mary and The Villages.

ToJay’s entered Chapter 11 bankruptcy in late April, saying the decision was “a direct result of the devastating impact" of the state-imposed shutdown of all restaurant dining rooms.
