Ruby Tuesday
Ruby Tuesday Inc. is an American multinational foodservice retailer that owns, operates, and franchises Ruby Tuesday restaurants. The concept was started by Samuel E. (Sandy) Beall III. Ruby Tuesday is a popular neighborhood spot, much like TFI Fridays and Applebee’s. It was initially established in Knoxville, Tennessee, in 1972, and nowadays, it has roughly 491 stores. A lot of their outlets are located in the East Coast area, but recently, they announced that due to the shortage of cash flow, they would close a majority of their stores.

Marie Callender’s
This closure hits home for us. This local joint is home to the most delicious baked goods you can find, especially the key lime pie! Marie Callender’s was owned and operated by Marie Callender herself, as she created the chain of restaurants while also living in a trailer park. She started to bake pies to support her family, and finally, the restaurant became a complete success. Unfortunately, a personal tragedy in 2009 has caused a lot of ups and downs in the progress of the restaurant. The restaurant has filed for bankruptcy after her husband passed away due to head trauma and has closed several locations. Almost all of the remaining branches are in California, where they’re also headquartered.
