Wimpy
The name of this chain came from the eponymous Popeye character! It started in Bloomington, Indiana in 1934 and later expanded to an impressive 1,500 locations all over the globe. When the owner died, the locations started vanishing one by one. Apparently, no one purchased the trademark and rights from his estate after he passed away. While it has shut down operations in the United States, there are still locations in the United Kingdom.

Wetson’s
Wetson’s made use of the slogans “Look for the Orange Circles,” and “Buy a bagful.” Very similar to particular fast food chains, right? Wetson’s also had two clown mascots that will remind you of a certain redheaded one. Its colors and architecture also looks like Whataburger. At its peak, there were 70 locations. In 1975, the company merged with Nathan’s Famous, and the brand was then shut down.
