Ground Round
During the ‘70s and ‘80s, a lot of parents got tired of listening to their children ask to go to Ground Round. After all, the restaurants were popular as a kiddy party venue with its mascot Bingo the Clown. Meanwhile, adults knew it better as the place where they serve you peanuts in the shell right before the meal. More importantly, they were even encouraged to throw the peanut shells on the floor! Sadly, it did not fare very well. By 2005, they only had around half of the 130 restaurants they originally had before they filed for bankruptcy. Now, there are less than 25 locations in the Northeast and Mideast.
