Bennigan’s

This Irish-themed restaurant chain got its start in Atlanta back in 1976. Bennigan’s had a near-death experience, but it is working hard to make its comeback. The owners filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy liquidation in 2007. In only one night, they closed 150 restaurants. The chain has been suffering after failing to cope with competition from Chili’s and TGI Friday’s. Even though Bennigan’s has Irish pub roots, its menu had Southwestern-style food and tempura. These days, there are only 13 Bennigan’s locations in the United States. According to its website, they are spread from Texas to New Jersey.
