The parent company of Tully's Coffee has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection and will close nine stores this Sunday. 

TC Global filed for bankruptcy protection Wednesday to help eliminate some costs that are keeping the company from being profitable. The Seattle-based coffee chain has long struggled under the shadow of Starbucks. 

It said it is struggling with lease obligations, commodity costs and underperforming stores. The company has more than $3.7 million in debt, according to its court filing.
