Boston Market
Boston Market used to be called Boston Chicken and it specializes in rotisserie chicken. The casual dining restaurant is owned by Sun Capital and headquartered in Florida. While branches of Boston Market are mostly located in the Midwest and Northeast US, you can find a branch in Florida because Sun Capital owns the restaurant. As of 2013, there were 462 stores open, but the number of branches and employee count (used to be at 14,000 at one point) have been whittled down. According to the statement issued by the Boston Market, the restaurant was going through a “multifaceted transformation plan,” which caused the rapid closures.

Perkins
Perkins is a breakfast and bakery chain that is privately-owned and was founded in Cincinnati, Ohio back in 1958. Originally known as Perkins Pancake House, it started using the name Perkins Family Restaurant in 1982 and is now located in 32 states in the US and four Canadian provinces. It is owned by Marie Callender’s, which filed for bankruptcy on August 5, 2019. This happened after abrupt closures with zero notice given to both staff and customers. This move garnered Perkins a ton of criticism. There are 2,500 employees that were laid off.
