I heard they are closing 50 Perkins. They are pretty common where I
live and they are always hopping. The thing about Perkins like a lot
of chains is that some of them are better than others, and I will not be
happy if the one I visit goes out of business. I really enjoy their
omelettes.

Of course, I'm sure the owner of that location could just say This is
our new name and go on, business as usual, without those franchise
fees he has to pay.
