If You Thought These Restaurant Chains Are Still Around, You Thought Wrong

Gino’s Hamburgers

Founded in the late ‘50s, Gino’s got its name from one of the co-founders, Gino Marchetti. He helped the Baltimore Colts win the 1958 and 1959 NFL championships. The chain was a second-stringer in the restaurant industry, although it still managed to open over 350 locations. Marriott Corp. bought it out in 1982 and then converted the locations into Roy Rogers. Well, we know what happened with that plan. The Gino’s brand eventually disappeared, although it returned under the name Gino’s Burgers & Chicken in 2010. You will now find two of these restaurants in the suburbs of Baltimore, Maryland.
