56 Beloved American Restaurants That Have Closed Their Doors

D’lites was a fast-food restaurant years ahead of its time. It focused on serving a healthier version of the fast food that Americans loved by using lean ground beef, low-calorie cheese, buns that contained optimum fiber, and frozen yogurt instead of ice cream.

The chain wasn’t around for many years, but it definitely left a mark on the lucky customers to eat there. The company filed Chapter 11 in 1987 and sold its remaining stores to Hardee’s. According to experts, the chain didn’t stand a chance once the big players started serving healthier choices.
