Iconic Restaurants You Grew Up With And No Longer Exist

Chi-Chi’s, 1975-2004

Founded in 1975, Chi-Chi offered spicy tex-max food to the locality in Minnesota. The popularity of Mexican cuisine enabled the chain to reach more states, and they opened at more than 200 locations by 1995. However, this popularity was short-lived, and Chi-Chi’s had to be closed forever in 2004. The company faced a huge loss and started to decline after several cases of Hepatitis A were reported and related to the restaurant’s name. The franchise was closed in the US in 2004, but it still operates in Austria, Belgium, Luxembourg, UAE, and Kuwait.
