Marie Callender’s
This shutdown hits home for us. The home of the most delicious pie, especially the key lime pastry is this local joint! Marie Callender’s was developed by Marie Callender herself when she created the chain of restaurants in the trailer park. Unfortunately, the restaurant’s success was hit by a family trauma in 2009. The restaurant has filed bankruptcy and closed several places ever since her husband died due to head trauma. Much of the remaining branches are also based in California.
Kona Grill
Kona Grill is a sushi restaurant established in Scottsdale, Arizona and now has 40 franchises in the USA and Puerto Rico. Sadly, since its establishment in 1989, the chain has struggled against closures. They announced in spring 2019 that they had filed for bankruptcy. This chain, while the CEO announces his interest in resigning, still has not given up and hopes to find a partnership.
