Perkins

In 1958, Perkins opened its doors as a breakfast and bakery restaurant. It used to go by Pancake House but changed its name to Perkins Family Restaurant a couple of years later. The locations are spread out across 32 states in the United States. On top of that, it has a presence in four provinces of Canada. Now owned by Marie Callenders, the business went bankrupt in 2019. Sadly, this made the store close down locations and lay off 25,000 employees.

You are going to find Friendly’s on the East coast more than anymore else in the country. First founded in 1935, the company has undergone a lot of changes and even declared bankruptcy a couple of years ago. It has since made a comeback and transformed its menu. At the moment, there are 167 branches. However, it is planning to close the doors of locations that do not get enough traffic.
