Dave Boennighausen, Noodles & Company's interim CEO, said in a statement Thursday that the closings and an infusion of cash from an existing shareholder "are critical to the long-term success of Noodles & Company," according to Nation's Restaurant News.
Noodles & Company plans to use cash from the deal to satisfy liabilities associated with the closure of restaurants, as well as costs associated with a data breach last year, and to invest in its remaining restaurants, the NRN story said.

Noodles and Company considered adding a restaurant on Brown Street near the University of Dayton in late 2015, to the extent of applying for a liquor license in the space, before pulling out of the deal. A new Bibibop restaurant opened in the space instead.
