CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — Employees of Sam Kane Beef Processors gathered Tuesday morning at the closed down beef processing plant to find out when the company plans to reopen.

Sam Kane shut its doors in late January after filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, leaving employees without pay for some time. The business was later sold to the JDH Capital Company in February, the company saying it intends to make investments in the processing plant and continue to operate the business.
