Perkins

Originating in Cincinnati, Ohio, Perkins was a privately owned enterprise that was named Pancake House. The breakfast and bakery chain renamed itself to Perkins Family Restaurant years later. These restaurants can be found in 32 U.S. states as well as in four regions in Canada. The one who owns Perkins is none other than Marie Callenders. In 2019, the chain filed for bankruptcy. This led to many store closures as well as 25,000 employees being laid off.

Friendly’s

Mostly found on the East coast, Friendly’s has changed a lot since its opening in 1935. The chain declared bankruptcy a few years back. However, it managed to make a comeback with a completely new menu. Now, there are 167 locations, but they will be shutting down specific branches that aren’t making enough of a profit.
