Editing Arthur Treacher's (section)

=== Investment group ===

The company was then bought by a group of investors, and the corporate offices were moved to [[Youngstown, Ohio]]. It went into bankruptcy in 1983. Two years later, it was merged into a [[Shell corporation|shell company]] by Jim Cataland. From 1985 to 1993, Cataland slowly expanded the company again. In 1993, money from a new group of investors was used to introduce a more modern seafood concept, to buy additional stores, and to move the company from its base operations in Youngstown to [[Jacksonville, Florida]].

In the mid-1980s, franchises in [[Detroit]] were converted by their owner to a new chain called Seafood Bay. Arthur Treacher's purchased back six Seafood Bay locations in 1997 but was unsuccessful in reverting them.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://business.highbeam.com/409700/article-1G1-19126815/arthur-treacher-buys-six-shuttered-seafood-bay-units|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141008221012/http://business.highbeam.com/409700/article-1G1-19126815/arthur-treacher-buys-six-shuttered-seafood-bay-units|url-status=dead|archive-date=8 October 2014|title=Arthur Treacher's buys six shuttered Seafood Bay units.(Brief Article)|date=17 February 1997|work=Nation's Restaurant News|access-date=2 September 2014}}</ref>

The company experimented with [[Brand alliances|co-branding]], forming an alliance with [[Arby's]] (which originated in the Youngstown suburb of [[Boardman Township, Mahoning County, Ohio|Boardman]]) for co-branded locations. One such location existed in [[Breezewood, Pennsylvania]]. However, by the late 1990s, Arby's parent [[Wendy's/Arby's Group|Triarc Cos. Inc.]] removed the Arthur Treacher's portions of its co-branded Arby's.
