In 1991, Country singer/songwriter Kenny Rogers ventured into the fast-food business and co-founded Kenny Rogers Roasters with former KFC owner John Y. Brown, Jr. By 1995, the menu had expanded to include turkey, ribs, and various side dishes, and the chain had grown to over 350 restaurants, including locations in Canada, the Middle East, and Asia. The establishment became so well known an entire episode of Seinfeld ("The Chicken Roaster") was dedicated to Kramer's love of Kenny Rogers Roasters chicken.
The company entered Chapter 11 bankruptcy in March 1998[3] and was bought by Nathan's Famous, Inc. for US$1.25 million[4][5] (US$2 million in more recent terms) on 1 April 1999; as a result of restructuring, many locations closed. By 2000, the chain was down to 90 franchised restaurants, 40 of those in the United States.[4]
Nathan's Famous divested itself of the chain in 2008, selling it to their Asian franchiser,[6] which is owned by Berjaya Group of Malaysia.[1] At the time, there was only one Kenny Rogers Roasters still operating in the United States, located in the Ontario Mills mall in Ontario, California. The 2008 purchase agreement allows for the continued operation of this location,[7] and allows Nathan's Famous and Miami Subs to continue selling Kenny Rogers Roasters items in their restaurants.[8] Nathan's continues to serve Kenny Rogers Roasters items in select locations, such as its flagship location on Coney Island,[9] and Miami Subs (since sold off by Nathan's) also has a "Kenny Rogers" section on their menu.[10]
Despite the chain's steep decline in the United States, Kenny Rogers Roasters continues to flourish in Asia, particularly in Malaysia and the Philippines.[11] Some branches in the Philippines also serve Seattle's Best Coffee products. |
