The restaurant is named after old western actor Roy Rogers, however, they were previously known as RoBee’s House of Beef before being bought by the Marriot hotel corporation. Their sales campaign was able to attract customers with its aggressiveness which led them to having 6o0 branches at one point. Hardee’s parent company purchased the franchise in 1990 and now there are just 48 restaurants standing.
