56 Beloved American Restaurants That Have Closed Their Doors

Wetson’s was a fast-food chain that people living in New York in the fifties, sixties, and seventies will likely know. The hamburger chain had seventy restaurants in the greater NY metropolitan area, and it was known for its “Big W” signature burger, as well as its fifteen-cent burgers and ten-cent fries.

Wetson’s was also known for its distinctive slogans, “Buy a Bagful” and “Look for the Orange Circles,” similar to McDonald’s. Wetson’s also had a clown mascot. The chain was unable to compete against McDonald’s and Burger King, which is why it went under.
