"Last Stand: The Lonely Legacy of Beloved Chain Restaurants. Once ubiquitous, iconic chain eateries like T.G.I. Fridays, Chi-Chi's, and Bennigan's have largely disappeared from the American landscape.

Fridays outpost in a small town in West Virginia to a solitary Bennigan's in a rural Illinois community, these isolated restaurants are a nostalgic reminder of a bygone era. But what's behind their resilience, and can they continue to survive in a rapidly changing culinary landscape?"


Many formerly-popular chain restaurants are no longer widespread, but some of those establishments remain in business with a single location.
