Childs
Childs was a chain of restaurants in Canada and the United States. Originally founded in NYC back in 1889, it was named after Samuel Childs, the founder. It experienced plenty of success back in the 20’s and 30’s with 125 locations under their name. Records say they served more than 50 million meals every year! Sadly, they filed for bankruptcy in the 40’s, and the company was later converted to Hotel Corporation of America. During the 60’s, the locations were sold to different companies.

This Tex-Mex restaurant chain in Southern California was established in Riverside in 1970. The slogan used to be “Prepare food fresh. Serve customers fast. Keep place clean!” Perfect. The chain eventually merged with the Del Taco restaurant chain, and most locations were converted to Del Tacos. Nowadays, there are still two open locations in Huntington Beach and Fountain Valley.
