1. Good

2. Jeez, that franchise isn't having enough problems?

There are very few even left in Michigan. This guy decides to self-destruct?

6. My favorite in Ohio

Big Boy and Hot Fudge sundaes!

3. That was a stupid business decision.

The owner let his ideologies and emotions rule his economic future.

I used to go to Bob's Big Boys all the time, but then there wasn't any near me. They still sell their salad dressing at most grocery stores and I love their blue cheese.

4. I had no idea there were still Big Boy restaurants

I don't think I've seen one in over 30 years!

8. Same here

I thought they all went out of business- hadn't seen one after they closed shop in WI back in the 80's.

5. Who owned the franchise? I know of a couple in Ohio

called Frishes Bog Boy.

7. One in Englewood, Miller Lane, off 75

And one in Kettering. 3, Frishes Big Boy.

9. Google says there are 81 of them in Ohio

and 7 are closing. Had no idea there were that many. We had Elbys Big Boy in this area they closed decades ago.
There are a couple local restaraunts that basicly have their menu with different names for the sandwiches.

10. Now That Is A Consequence

11. Is that just in Michigan?

Nothing here.

12. Midland Michigan has one. Bay City two.

one in Bridgeport at expressway exit. There has to be more in Michigan. Edit to add. Google say 66 in Michigan.

13. Elias Bros.

had a string of them across Michigan. WOTS is that the Elias' were connected with the Mob.

Not surprising I suppose.

14. I didn't know they still existed!

blast form the past!!
