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.

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

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.
