#6: Wag’s
You’ve heard of the drugstore Walgreens, but did you know that they also owned and operated a 24-hour diner-style restaurant in the 70s? Now you do! Wag’s was based on the Denny’s concept and had locations along busy highways. Its menu consisted of breakfast platters and hamburgers.
Walgreens decided to sell all of its restaurants, except for a select few located in malls, to Marriott Corporation in 1988. Ownership changed hands a few times before the chain shut down altogether. Some of the locations were turned into IHOPs, though.
