@SKRX-xn9xp

I really appreciate hearing a real human voice on videos like this when so many are using the annoying robot text-to-speech! Well done!

@eddiewhistler7472

Shoney's closing was a national tragedy. After it closed my family had to just wander the streets hungry after church.

@blakeharrison3972

Quality has gone down and prices have risen,

@GypsyHeart2012

Once you had a Roy Rodgers roast beef sandwich, your eyes are opened, and Arby's, now looks like compressed ham.

@KevinBalch-dt8ot

You know the final nail in the coffin is when a private equity firm comes in.

@slackingpacking

I miss Friendly’s, I used to love that place. There’s a few more places like Quiznos, O’Charleys, CiCi’s Pizza, Ruby Tuesday. They are on the endangered list.

@willmack5909

Friendly's is the one I have the most emotional attachment to. I remember going to one in Morrisville PA in the early 1980s with my Mom and my grandmother, then going to that same exact one when my wife and I began going out and when we were newlyweds. It was also that same exact spot where we took our son for his first dining out to eat experiences. When it closed down it was very sad to me. None of us have eaten at the other one in the Langhorne area since my son was like in 6th or 7th grade I believe. I think the days of all of these types of restaurants is coming to an end.

@redcomic619

Arthur Treacher’s has 4 locations in Rochester, NY still operating, however they are co-branded inside Salvatore’s Pizzerias.

@matthewbanta3240

A while ago my wife and I saw a sign saying that there was a Roy Rogers at a rest stop on I-95. We had to stop. Roy's used to be a major player in the burger wars. If they did something like add a fixin's bar or whatever then the other chains had to answer. Eating there was like a trip back in time

@kingbullyrock8739

This dude didn't do his homework. Roy Rogers is under new ownership and is on the comeback with new locations opening up

@BatCaveOz

In Nova Scotia in the 1990's one could go to Ponderosa and get a steak & potato meal (with complimentary salad and vegetables from the buffet) for $5.99.

@visualverbs

Back when I worked Swing Shift at Texas Instruments, in Dallas, TX, in the mid 1980's, we'd get coupons for Bonanza every week in the newspaper. Steak, baked potato, and salad bar for $4.99, including a drink and soft serve ice cream dessert. I'd go there two or three times a week for 'brunch' before work (working

@otakubullfrog1665

Roy Rogers is one of those places that I've always liked even if can't explain exactly why. I'd love to see them make a comeback somehow.

@GrnXnham

Back in the 80's I worked at Rax Restaurant (also called Rax Roast Beef.) During the 80's they had more than 500 locations in the USA. Now they have less than 10. And I now see that you included Rax in part 2!

@Iamsnuggles

I think the moral of the story is that if you have a chain restaurant, 500-900 is your limit. Unless you’re the next McDonald’s, stick to low numbers and expand slowly and methodically.

@philiparonson8315

Arthur Treacher’s % of Peak Remaining is 0.2%, not 0.002% [(2/826)*100 = 0.2]. Also, as others have noted, there has been a move to get Roy Roger’s up and going again.

@w8lvradio

Arthur Treacher visited Sandusky, Ohio, in the middle of Winter. And then he died on the very next day. If you've ever been in Sandusky, Ohio in the middle of winter, you know why.

@rpc717

The Shoney's here closed very suddenly about 15 years ago. Employees showed up and the doors were locked.

@mrguystarr

Roy Rogers fixins bar got me hooked as a kid... very nostalgic.

@sapalot5660

Roy Rogers is actually coming back from near extinction. I use to live in Maryland and Virginia and there have been several Roy Rogers that have opened in the last few years.
