2) Red Barn
Known for their Barnbuster sandwich and their many free giveaway items, Red Barn started out in Ohio and expanded to locations in 18 other states as well as Canada and Australia. By the late 1980s however, the chain had already already suffered from stiff fast food competition and a buyout from a company mainly interested in real estate which let many of the leases on Red Barn buildings expire in 1988.
There is one remaining Red Barn in Racine, Wisconsin, though it’s not called Red Barn. After the chain officially shut down, a few remaining locations still had leases on the iconic barn-shaped buildings and made a go of similar menu items under the name The Farm.
