Marie Callender’s
Marie Callender’s is named after its owner Marie Callender and is a supplier of pastries. Callender started the business as a way of supplementing her income while living in a trailer park when they took the bold move to open a restaurant. Luckily, it soon became a major hit. Unfortunately, the restaurant saw a downturn as of 2009 when Don, Marie’s husband, passed away. They had to file for bankruptcy on numerous occasions as the business has not been the same since then. They had to close a lot of their branches but still have about 28 doors open in California, where their headquarters is also located.

Kona Grill
Kona Grill is a sushi restaurant that started in Scottsdale, Arizona, and has about 40 restaurants across the US and Puerto Rico. They also have three international branches but, in recent times, had to announce they filed for bankruptcy with a lot of its doors closing shortly after. The company was established in 1998 but a little over two decades later and they have to be searching and thinking hard about their way going forward. They were considering a merger, but it never worked out, so they filed for bankruptcy amidst rumors that the current CEO was opting to leave the restaurant chain.
