After nearly 30 years Chicago's beloved Moo & Oink may be closing for good if a buyer is not found in 60-90 days. In this horrific instance, the company will "liquidate the inventory and sell the equipment and intangibles as soon as reasonably possible".

Moo & Oink operates three stores in Chicago and one location in Austin Texas which have all reported losses since the economy started to slump. The company is famous for its whole animal sausages, deals on jerky, pork chops and having a bad commercial in the 80s.
