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

Denny’s

Did you know that Denny’s was originally called “Danny’s Donuts”? It opened up as a coffee shop in 1953 in Lakewood, California. Nowadays, Denny’s is known for always being open and serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner at all times. In fact, Denny’s doesn’t close on holidays or nights, only when it’s required by law. A lot of the restaurants are located close to freeway exits, bars, and service areas. In 1963, Denny’s started franchising, and now most Denny’s restaurants are franchise-owned.
