Naugles
Naugles first opened up in Southern California in the 1970’s and served up Mexican style food including tacos and burritos. Eventually Naugles franchised and by 1988, it merged with Del Taco and 171 of its over 200 locations turned into Del Taco. The last of the original Naugles closed down in 1995.
Carrol’s
Carrol’s opened up in 1960 and quickly franchised after being purchased by Herb Slotnik. It was known for its 15 cent burgers. By 1980, all of its locations closed down, but Carrol’s holding company saw an opportunity with up and coming Burger King. Now the company owns over 1000 Burger King locations and some Popeye’s restaurants as well.
