Does anyone remember this place???

I swear they had the best french fries I ever ate.

1. Yeah. There was one on Woodhaven Boulevard that we used to go to, but...

I met one of the founders' kids and he was a real jerk. Founder's kids are often like that and I always wondered if the chain was sold partly because there was no next generation to make it work.

Then again, it was a complete ripoff of McDonald's and McDonald's was growing fast while this wasn't, so it's future was dark anyway.

2. I actually read it's making a comeback later this year.

3. Apparently, someone bought the name. We'll see...

what happens.

Someone bought the Arthur Treacher's Fish and Chips name long after it closed and some of us celebrated since that was a favorite place with good fish, great fries and the only place to get cider vinegar for them. But, any slob could get a franchise, and many did-- greasy spoons and Turnpike counters had the name but inedible food. Blecchh!

4. Looks like the old McD's but without the golden crotches.
