Lum’s
When Lum’s, a fast-food restaurant company headquartered in Florida, first opened its doors in 1956, it was considered a revolutionary move. Stuart and Clifford Pearlman were among the first members of the company’s founding team. It had 400 sites throughout the United States when it initially opened its doors, according to corporate records. The popularity of the restaurant has increased in part as a result of its well-known “beer-steamed” hot dogs and, more importantly, as a result of its distinctive glass-doored shops. The Pearlmans’ company was eventually acquired by KFC for a total of $4 million as a result of this. After much deliberation, it was decided to phase down the Lum’s brand, and the last Lum’s store closed its doors in 2009.

Steak and Ale
Chi-Chi’s and Steak and Ale were pioneers, introducing a whole new concept: low-cost steaks and salad bars. Despite the popularity of the concept, the chain’s demise was brought about by its own success. In the early 2010s, competitors outperformed the Steak and Ale concept, forcing the business to shutter its remaining locations. As a result, the current owners of Bennigan’s, Legendary Restaurant Brands, have bought the Steak and Ale moniker. As indicated in a statement on the restaurant’s website, “Steak and Ale is set for a historic revival.” This American institution has been reinvented as a 21st Century polished-casual concept, while retaining its iconic elements. By being mentored and supported by professional operations and management personnel, qualified franchisees have the potential to build rapid consumer loyalty. Rather, they bring back a well-known restaurant with a long history of brand recognition. The new Steak and Ale is set for remarkable growth since it provides an upgraded casual dining experience at an accessible price range.”
