29. Pioneer Chicken
Pioneer chicken was a California staple in the 1980s. At its height, the chain had 270 stores and was advertised by sports legends Chick Hearn and (pre-trial) O.J. Simpson.
However, Pioneer Chicken lost relevance and marketshare beginning in the 1990s. As of 2017, there are only two locations remaining — one in Boyle Heights, California, and one in Bell Gardens, California.
