Roy Rogers
Named after the old western actor Roy Rogers, the Roy Rogers Restaurants are a burger chain mostly located in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic area. They were formally known as RoBee’s House of Beef but were then bought by the Marriot hotel corporation. They had an aggressive sales campaign that attracted consumers and at one point had 600 branches across America. In 1990 it was sold to Hardee’s parent company and today there are only 48 locations still standing.
Boston Market
The formally known Boston Chicken commends itself on its special rotisserie chicken., However, now it is called Boston Market. It is owned by Sun Capital and is most frequently found in the Northeast/Midwest areas, but also Florida. Back in 2013, about 462 branches were standing but today that number has drastically decreased. The restaurant chain even admitted that they were going through a “multifaceted transformation plan.”
