re: 53 restaurant chains on brink of disappearing. Glad we are “building back better”

The franchisee likely was undercapitalized and went bust when they hit a short term problem.

There are a lot of chains around here which have gone bust and come back several times such as Pizza Hut, Hardee’s, Captain D’s, etc, which are surviving elsewhere but can’t seem to stick here.


Pizza Hut was explicitly due to the franchisee having money trouble and getting so far behind with Pizza Hut corporate that they shut down all his locations, left the region dead for few years, then only returned with delivery / carry out locations, no sit downs.
