6) Minnie Pearl's Fried Chicken

Minnie Pearl's Fried Chicken started in 1966 and became a big competitor to the other fast food chains. The owner of the restaurant hired Minnie Pearl as the spokesperson, and her popularity helped the eatery to up its game. After two years, the fast food chain was shut down in 1968 after Wall Street announced that its profits were generated from unpaid franchise fees.
