The chain started in Ft. Wayne, IN as an outgrowth of Azar's Big Boy.
The Roy Rogers chain was sold in 1990 to Imasco, then the parent company
of Hardee's, and experienced severe decline as many locations converted
to Hardee's. In 2002, the trademark was purchased by Plamondon Companies.

Do the Hardee's in your area do coupons? I get a monthly mailing from
some marketing outfit. Yesterday's haul had coupons for Popeyes, Subway,
Burger King, Hardee's and Little Caesar's (who have improved their pizza
greatly). Once in a while there is even a McD's sheet of coupons.
The bundle also contains window, siding and gutter hutles. As well as a
BelTone hearing aid flyer and general beauty & bath merch coupons.

I had an '87 Honda Accord I'd likely still be driving had that tool
truck (Mac Tools dealer) not blown a stop sign just as I was entering
the intersection. 30 mph to zero in a jiffy. And a dandy cut on my
forehead. I did have my seatbelt on which no doubt saved more hurts.
At the time it was wrecked it had over 200,000 miles on it.
My current ride, Bruno the Beemer has been to the moon and is on his
way home - 250,000 miles and still going strong.

Well, yeah. But a list of available choices would have been nice. I'm
not, and never have been a fan of cafeteria-style eating. If I'm doing
"pick it yourself" pre-made dishes give me the wretched excess of a
good ol' buffet.
