Perkins
This breakfast and bakery chain Perkins was established in Cincinnati, Ohio, in 1958 under the name Pancake House as a privately owned company. It was changed to Perkins Family Restaurant some years later. It is scattered throughout the country among thirty-two US states, as well as four providences in Canada. The restaurant also owned by Marie Callenders, who itself filed for bankruptcy in 2019. Unfortunately, this has resulted in fast store closers, and 25,000 workers were laid off due to it.
Friendly’s
This chain found mostly in the East Coast region. Since its establishment in 1935, it has undergone several changes, including declaring bankruptcy some years ago. It did make a comeback, though, and transformed the menu altogether. There are 167 locations today, but they are planning to close the spots that don’t attract enough traffic.
