Perkins
Perkins is a privately-owned breakfast and bakery chain, established in 1958 in Cincinnati, Ohio. It was first known as Perkins Pancake House and later as Perkins Family Restaurant in 1982. Perkins features across 32 states in the US and four Canadian provinces. On August 5th, 2019, Marie Callender filed for bankruptcy, but a lot of criticism came with it. Many of the stores were closed instantly without customers or even employees knowing anything about it. Sadly, more than 2,500 people lost their jobs from these closures.

McDonald’s
McDonald’s is by far one of the most popular restaurants not only in the US but all around the world, yet they have made it to this list too. Being one of the most-visited restaurants in America, it is safe to say they have made and served billions of burgers and millions of dollars in profits. However, yet still, they were not immune to the hardship faced by many other companies. COVID-19 has hit a lot of restaurants around the world, and McDonald’s was not spared. A lot of the overseas branches have closed their doors like in the UK, Israel, Italy, and Spain as well as in the US. Interestingly, the chain made a comeback with its new business model, where some of the outlets offer deliveries only, while others will remain closed. But, the discontinuation of the dine-in service has made it difficult for the company to recover lots of its lost profits.
