Roy Rogers
The Roy Rogers Restaurants, named after the old western star Roy Rogers, is another burger chain based mostly in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic region. They had been formally known as RoBee’s House of Beef but were then bought by the hotel corporation Marriot. They had an aggressive campaign of sales that attracted potential customers and had 600 branches all over America at one point. It was sold to Hardee’s parent company in 1990, and there are only 48 stores left open as of August 2019.
Boston Market
The well-known Boston Chicken stands out for its exclusive rotisserie chicken, but now it’s branded as the Boston Market. It is owned by Sun Capital and is most usually cited in both the Northeast/Midwest areas, as well as in Florida. Roughly 462 branches were standing back in 2013 but recently that number has dropped dramatically. The restaurant chain also acknowledged a “multifaceted transformation plan” they were going through.
