Old Country Buffet
Old Country Buffet was founded in 1983 and instantly became popular among consumers. Buffet-style restaurants were a big hit in the ’80s and ’90s, so it’s no surprise this chain was a big hit. People loved Old Country Buffet for its reasonable prices and large portions.
At some point, the chain had more than 700 locations across the United States. Old Country Buffet was recently hit with major losses and went through 3 bankruptcies. More than 400 of their locations were shut down, with only 17 of them currently operating.
