In the 1980s and 1990s, the New Jersey-based regional chain Charlie Brown’s experienced rapid expansion. Although some of the franchise owners have continued to operate, the corporation went out of business.

Naugles

Between 1970 and 1995, Naugles had a very good 25-year run. The delightful motto of a Mexican fast food chain with sites around the United States was “Prepare food fresh. Serve clients promptly. Keep the area tidy!I must respect that, are I right? By the middle of the 1980s, there were up to 225 sites, with the final one—in Carson City, Nevada—closing its doors in 1995. Entrepreneur Christian Ziebarth brought the eatery back to life in 2015. California currently has two locations.
