One other contribution from Burger Chef was they created the Kids Meal (meal with a toy) which a few years later McDonalds would copy for the Happy Meal.
A shout out to *WUV's* -- a defunct Florida-based chain along the Gulf Coast and a few scattered locations across the country. They had delicious fresh, never-frozen burgers, skin-on fries, killer onion rings, fried chicken, biscuits (where Popeye's founder Al Copeland got the idea), a salad bar and a delicious passion-fruit drink called Wuv Punch or something along those lines. As a kid, lunch at Wuv's was one of the highlights of our trips down to Tallahassee, where my sister attended college. Sadly, the company folded in the early 1980s. And as a Pennsylvanian, I sorely miss Arthur Treacher's Fish 'n' Chips. My Dad earned a good salary but he'd take his 7 kids to eat at that grease pit because it was our favorite! Dad was always spoiling us!
It’s been a while this was a very interesting video. if you don’t know who I am, I am gd mushroom gamer but I changed my name to purple puppy entertainment. This video was very entertaining. I recently made my first mall history video of Potomac Mills Mall, the first time using my voice in a while. News Flash News 1: Rue21 is going out of business bearing the end of May or early June. News 2: Ames announced that they would reopen stores by June 2026 with plans with 35 locations by late 2027. They announced that they will feature Ames Cafe, click services, and selective locations to have special pharmacies. Let’s hope it’s not a scam this time 😅
Other fast food chains that are no more: Arthur Treacher’s Fish and Chips Boston Sea Party Sandy’s Naugles They’re not dead yet, but Brown’s Chicken has been slowly declining in the Chicago area for a few decades, if not spurred on then exacerbated by the massacre in Palatine, IL.
