Ruby Tuesday
Ruby Tuesdays is a favorite local spot similar to chains like TFI Friday’s and Applebee’s. It was founded in 1972 in Knoxville, Tennessee and has about 491 stores today. Most are located in the East coast area but recently they announced they will be closing a majority of their stores due to lack of sufficient income.

Marie Callender’s
This closure hits home for us. This local joint is the home to the most delicious pies you can find, especially the key lime pie! Marie Callender’s was established by Marie Callender herself, as she created the restaurant chain while living in a trailer park. She began by baking pies to support her family, and eventually, the restaurant was a huge success. Unfortunately, a trauma in the family in 2009 caused a hiccup in the restaurant’s success. Ever since her husband passed away due to head trauma, the restaurant has filed bankruptcy and closed many locations. Most of the branches that remain are in California where their headquarters are also.
