Iconic American Fast-Food Chains That No Longer Exist

1. Henry’s Hamburgers

Year Founded: 1954
Number of Stores at Peak: 200
Last Store Closed: N/A

Henry’s Hamburgers thrived for three decades during America’s fast food boom. They were front runners with McDonald’s. In fact, the restaurant and its operations were modeled after the successful Southern California chain. Henry’s Hamburgers was opened in Chicago, Illinois when Bresler’s Ice Cream wanted in on the fast-food industry and decided to expand. 

The chain’s main strength was that they could sell hamburgers for just 15 cents, which means you could feed a family of six for just under a dollar. The last and only remaining Henry’s Hamburgers location sits in Chicago and still welcomes guests.
