Specializing in burgers, Roy Rogers branches are mainly found in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic areas. The restaurant is named after the old-school western actor, Roy Rogers. Before it was bought by the Mariot hotel corporation, this chain was known as RoBee’s House of Beef. The sales campaign was successful and attracted customers with its aggressiveness. All this led the chain to have 600 branches at one point. The parent company, Hardee’s, bought the franchise in 1990 and now there are only 48 restaurants standing.
