Frisch's Big Boy then and now

Just another sad case of corporate America crushing the privateer. Tough to compete with McD & the rest of the mega chains.
On a side note; how many mom & pop grocery stores are left? 7-11 took care of those. How many neighborhood hardware stores? Home Depot & Lowe's killed them. Let's not forget what Walm@rt does to local businesses. Even more relevant to us, how about your local auto parts store, run by people who knew their stuff & cared. Thank Pep Boys, Napa & the rest of the "If it ain't in the computer, it don't exist" corporations.
