Perkins
Perkins started in Cincinnati, Ohio. Perkin’s name was changed to Perkins Family Restaurant after several years. There were 32 restaurants in the U.S. while 4 in Canada. The owner of the Perkins was Marie Callenders. In 2019, Perkins had filed for bankruptcy. It was the reason why many of their stores were closed down, and 25,000 became unemployed.
Friendly’s
Friendly’s were located on most of the East coast. There were many changes in the chain since it was established in 1935. Friendly’s had filed bankruptcy in the past years, but they had made a way to survive with a new menu on their chain. Currently, Friendly’s had 167 branches, but those not performing well would be closed down.
