Iconic Restaurants You Grew Up With And No Longer Exist

Wetson’s, 1959-1975

Wetson’s can undoubtedly be called the McDonald’s of the 50s. Known for its signature Big W burger and fries in the minimal price on 25 cents altogether, Wetson’s opened their first franchise in New York in 1959. They had as many as 70 branches in the New York metropolitan area within some time of the launch, and Watson catered to a vast number of food lovers. Yet, it could not compete with McDonald’s and Burger King to that level, which resulted in the closing of the chain in 1975 after the utmost struggle to survive.
