Roy Rogers Restaurants

Roy Rogers Franchise Company, LLC

Roy Rogers Franchise Company, LLC is a Mid-Atlantic and Northeastern United States chain of fast food restaurants founded by the Marriott Corporation in 1968 in Falls Church, Virginia. As of August 2015, Roy Rogers had 51 stores: 20 corporate and 31 franchised. In 2002, the Plamondon Companies purchased the trademark from Imasco, the former parent of Hardee's. Under the new owners the company is headquartered in Frederick, Maryland.

Roy Rogers' menu consists primarily of hamburgers, roast beef sandwiches, fried chicken, french fries and beverages. Many locations also serve breakfast.

Roy Rogers is a chain of U.S. fast-food family restaurants, numbering over 650 at its peak, named after cowboy movie actor Roy Rogers. Marriott Corporation founded the chain to replace their older Hot Shoppes Jr. fast-food chain, most of which were then converted. They licensed the name from Roy Rogers and operated the restaurants from 1968 through 1990. The first location opened in 1968 in the Bailey's Crossroads section of Falls Church, Virginia, on the corner of Leesburg Pike and Carlin Springs Road (5603 Leesburg Pike), not far from the Hot Shoppes on Columbia Pike. That Roy Rogers is now a McDonald's. Another Jr. Hot Shoppes that became a Roy Rogers was at 5214 River Road, in Bethesda, Maryland, directly across the street from the original headquarters of Marriott Corporation. Marriott senior executives and members of the Marriott family were frequent patrons of the location (the site is also now a McDonald's).

In 1982, Marriott Corporation bought the Gino's restaurant chain for $48.6 million. The company converted 180 of the 313 restaurants to Roy Rogers to expand in the Baltimore/Washington area. In 1990, Marriott sold the chain for $365 million to Hardee's, a Southern chain seeking to expand into the Mid-Atlantic market again. Hardee's converted the remaining non-franchised locations into Hardee's restaurants; many of the new Hardee's continued to feature Roy Rogers' fried chicken. The conversion of the Roy Rogers chain ended in a customer revolt so serious that they actually aborted the idea and returned the Roy Rogers brand to stores initially converted. The restaurants promoted new flame-broiled hamburgers, but they were not the same as the original Roy Rogers products and they later failed.

Answer 3

Royal Castle (restaurant chain)

Royal Castle was a Miami, Florida-based hamburger restaurant chain known for its miniature hamburgers that are similar to White Castle's hamburgers, and its Birch Beer beverage, a version of root beer. It was founded in 1938 by William Singer, with an initial restaurant located at N.E. Second Avenue and 79th St., in Miami. Royal Castle eventually grew to 175 locations throughout Florida, Georgia, Ohio and Louisiana, with the bulk of them in Miami. One Royal Castle still exists in Miami, at 2700 NW 79th Street.

During its heyday, Royal Castle sold its hamburgers for 15 cents, and fries and Birch Beer for 7 cents each. Singer, who was from Columbus, Ohio, was inspired by the success of White Castle, which had moved its headquarters to Columbus from Wichita, Kansas, in 1934.

Royal Castle's motto was "Fit for a king!" The restaurant chain also served breakfast, with orange juice freshly squeezed to order.

In 1969, Royal Castle was acquired by Nashville, Tennessee-based Performance Systems for about $9.1 million. Performance Systems had been active creating and marketing chicken franchise restaurants, most notably Minnie Pearl's Chicken. But the company became overextended due to lack of executive restaurant experience, collapsed amid allegations of accounting irregularities and stock price manipulation, and was forced to sell off its assets, including Royal Castle.

By the 1970s the Royal Castle chain began to lose ground to other fast-food hamburger chains, including McDonald’s as well as Burger King, which also was founded in Miami in 1954. In 1975, the remaining shareholders of Royal Castle voted to liquidate the company at $2 a share, down from the $12 per share when the company was acquired by Performance Systems.

Salad and Go

Salad and Go

Roushan Christofellis

Salad and Go is a fast food restaurant specializing in healthy options using whole, natural, and organic ingredients executed with a small footprint drive-thru concept. Founded by Roushan and Tony Christofellis in 2013 the company is based in Gilbert, Arizona and as of July 2017, has grown to ten locations around the Phoenix area. In early 2017 the company launched Meals and Go, a customizable grab and go meal plan option.

Tony and Roushan Christofellis both have experienced issues with heart disease within their own families. When they looked around the local Phoenix area for options, both were distressed that fast-food options were unhealthy and they promised themselves a different future. So Roushan and Tony worked to create a fast-food concept bringing healthy, natural options to people in a cost effective delivery model that was well known. They would keep the drive thru, but use their small restaurant footprint to offset food costs.

In 2016 Business Insider named Salad and Go one of "7 up-and-coming healthy fast food chains that should scare McDonald's"

Shipley Do-Nuts

Shipley Do-Nuts

Shipley Do-Nuts is an American doughnut chain with more than 300 franchised stores in the Southern United States, including Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, Tennessee, Mississippi, Georgia, and Alabama. Its headquarters are located in Northside, Houston, Texas.

Shipley Do-nuts was created when Lawrence Shipley, Sr. designed a gourmet recipe for doughnuts. Back in 1936, when Shipley first created the recipe, his doughnuts were cut by hand and served warm during the day. Back then, his doughnuts were sold for $.05 per dozen. Lawrence Shipley Sr., Lillie Shipley and Helen Shipley worked with others at their original bakery on 1417 Crockett Street in Houston, Texas. In the 1940's, the doughnuts became such a hit around the area that they were sold on retail and thus, Shipley Do-nuts was born. Shipley’s goal was to continue selling hot doughnuts to customers. He said “When they bite into that hot doughnut, it will bring them back every time”.

Lawrence Shipley Jr. took over the business to continue his father’s dream. Later, Lawrence W. Shipley, III, became the president of the company and carries on the tradition with high hopes of expanding the chain. In total, the doughnut shop has gone through three generations on Shipley men. Today, the chain’s headquarters remain in Houston, Texas on 5200 North Main.

In 2015, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), an agency that regulates the rights of employees in America, charged Shipley Do-nuts for violating federal anti-discrimination laws. The franchise forced Brooke S. Foley, an employee at one branch of Shipley Do-nuts in the Katy area, to take an unpaid leave. This specific branch’s owner and general manager prohibited Foley from working at the doughnut shop unless she provided documentation from a doctor that her pregnancy is not “high-risk”. Foley was later fired from the shop when she was unable to provide formal evidence of the doctor’s permission. This issue violates Title VII of the Civil Right Act of 1964 under the Pregnancy Discrimination Act that discourages pregnancy-related job discrimination. Employers cannot force a pregnant employee to show formal documentation in order stay employed. On November 16, 2015, Judge Alfred H. Bennett signed the consent decree that settled the suit which provided non-monetary relief. Shipley Do-nuts was required to execute non-discrimination policies, post all anti-discrimination notices in their locations, and keep reports of employment actions that involve pregnant workers.
