Perkins
Founded in the late ‘50s, Perkins began operating in Cincinnati, Ohio, and instantly became a hot spot. The chain was known for its delicious buttermilk pancakes, and some called it “the pancake house.”
Perkins was doing very well for a while until a few years ago when the company was left with no other choice but to file for bankruptcy. Since 2011, the chain has been closing more and more of its locations. Some stores were closed without any warning.
