Roy Rogers
This burger chain is named after an Old western actor. Roy Rogers Restaurants has locations in the Northeast and the Mid-Atlantic. Formally, it goes by the name RoBee’s House of Beef. The Marriott hotel corporation bought it and launched a sales campaign, which worked to attract more customers. At one point, the business had 600 American branches. In 1990, Hardee’s purchased the company. Unfortunately, the number of locations has since gone down to 48.
Boston Market
Formally known as Boston Chicken, the company is best known for the special rotisserie chicken. Now called Boston Market, Sun Capital owns it. Most locations are found in the Midwest and the Northeast, as well as Florida. In 2013, it had around 462 branches. The number has gone down drastically. It has admitted that it is currently working on a “multifaceted transformation plan.”
