History
editThe restaurant chain was originally opened and operated by Ted Geiger of WAG restaurants. The Buck family did not have ownership in the company, but instead received royalties for the use of likenesses. The chain expanded to 7 locations. However, in October 2008, 5 of the locations closed, with the chain being taken over by Bodley Buck LLC, an investment company which included siblings Joe and Julie Buck, the children of Jack Buck.[2] After more than 15 years, the franchise is set to close its final locations on October 31, 2015.[1]
