LOS ANGELES – Patrick Dempsey says he wants to rescue a coffee house chain and more than 500 jobs. The "Grey's Anatomy" star said Wednesday he's leading a group attempting to buy Tully's Coffee. The Seattle-based company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in October. Dempsey said he's excited about the chance to help hundreds of workers and give back to Seattle. The actor has a strong TV tie to the city: He plays Dr. Derek Shepherd on "Grey's Anatomy," the ABC drama set at fictional Seattle Grace Hospital. Tully's has 47 company-run stores in Washington and California, as well as five franchised stores and 58 licensed locations in the U.S. Any sale would have to be approved by a judge. A bankruptcy court hearing is set for Jan. 11 in Seattle. | |
