Houlihan’s
Houlihan’s was founded in 1972 when the co-founders purchased a previous haberdashery called Tom Houlihan’s Men’s Wear. The architect referred o his project as “Houlihan’s Old Place” and since then it stuck. The company truly did everything by the book but they have somehow landed themselves in $50 million in debt and have had to close a whole bunch of locations.
Baja Fresh Mexican Grill
Very well-known for their burritos, taquitos and a salsa bar where you can self-serve. In 1990 the bar opened but was later bought by Wendy’s in 2002. back in their prime time, there used to be 300 units in just 21 states. Unfortunately, the tables have turned and locations began closing not soon after, in 2004.
