The Arbitration Court of the Novosibirsk Region received an application from the Federal Tax Service No. 17 demanding to recognize the insolvency of the New York Pizza Franchising company. The claim was filed on May 10, 2023. The amount of claims is 5,574,826.46 rubles.


According to official information, the organization (LLC) has officially existed since 2012. The main owner of the company continues to be the American Eric Shogren, who founded the once popular chain of pizzerias in Novosibirsk under the brand New York Pizza.

The first retail outlet appeared in the city back in 1996. Now in the capital of Siberia and Berdsk, located next to Novosibirsk, there are 7 retail outlets of the network.

The co-founder of the company is currently Irina Starintseva. She owns 26.3% of the company's authorized capital, according to local media. Also, the business infrastructure includes a network of confectionery shops, known under the Kuzina brand. The organization is headed by Evgenia Golovkova.

The last time the scandalous story related to the criminal case against Shogren and Golovkova was replicated in the media in 2009. Then business owners were suspected of non-payment of taxes and non-payment of wages.

There was an amount of 51 million rubles. Employees of the network went on pickets, demanding payment of 7 million rubles. However, the permanently igniting and subsiding process finally ended in 2014, as the statute of limitations ended. In recent years, the company has been managing the network's activities exclusively on the basis of franchising.

Last year brought New York Pizza Franchising more than 50 million in revenue. The company finished the year 2022 with a net profit of 210 thousand rubles. As Regina Bakshun, representing the interests of the company, told the publication "NGS", the management has not yet received the statements of the tax authorities. It is possible to say something about the organization's debt to the state only after the data reconciliation is carried out. According to Bakshun, the company will be able to avoid bankruptcy.
