Remember any of these "Dead" franchises?

All-American Burger:

The Southern California All-American Burger chain was never more than a regional fast-food joint. However, it became famous when it was featured in the hit 80s teen film Fast Time at Ridgemont High. The final west coast location closed in 2010.

If you’re on the east coast however, a Massapequa, Long Island establishment using the same name and logos has been open since 1961 and is still serving up delicious burgers to this day.




Steak n Ale was my jam back in Florence, SC





Mr. Steak was a chain of steakhouses that was popular in the 70s. These steaks unfortunately weren’t juicy enough to withstand increasing competition from upstart steakhouse chains like Sizzler and Stuart Anderson’s Black Angus and therefore folded after bankruptcy in 1987. At its peak, the chain operated nearly 300 locations across the U.S.

You know you were a bad business when Sizzler kills you off
