Speaking of which, we are getting a Captain D's here. They serve (battered) fish and the fish is quite good. We did have a Long John Silver's as late as about 15 years ago, but it shut down for some reason. Their fish and chips is exceptional, IMHO.
You may not have heard of either one of those restaurants. I am almost certain that Captain D's is headquartered in Nashville; LJ Silver's is based out of Lexington, Kentucky (about 70 miles east of Louisville). And both are still what you would probably call "regional" restaurant chains.

LJS is a big box chain. Not regional in any sense. If it is advertised on cable TV, it is nationwide. For what it is worth, I loved LJS crunchies. We have one here. In1986, there were 2 or 3 in Albuquerque NM. I bet the reason for the closure was 2 fold. Not enough profit and managers that liked the cookie jar.
