Fuddruckers
This burger chain is known for baking buns and grinding its meat on-site. In the US, it had 77 company-operated branches and 111 franchises. Its revenue is around $150 million, but it is closing down stores which aren’t bringing in enough money to further increase revenue. Its headquarters is located in Houston, Texas and its founder is Phil Romano, who later left the company to start his own Macaroni Grill. The build-your-own-burger restaurant chain has had different owners and has declared bankruptcy before.

Roy Rogers
Named after the Western actor Roy Rogers, this chain of burger joints operates in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast region of the US. Roy Rogers Restaurants was formerly known as RoBee’s House of Beef until the Marriott Corporation (the well-known hotel chain) bought the restaurant chain in 1968 and in the same year, the name Roy Rogers was used for the first time. With an aggressive sales campaign, Roy Rogers Restaurants drew in customers quickly and at its height, it had around 600 branches in America. In 1990, Hardee’s parent company bought it and the number of branches has been whittled down to 48.
