Hardee's and Carl's Jr. have the same owner, and the two menus generally aligned when Carl's Jr. bought out Hardee's around 1999. But the menu options are a little different, especially breakfast. Carl's Jr. has the breakfast burritos and Hardee's has the omelet biscuits and sammiches. Each is good in their own right.

Maybe it is because I'm not a kid, but Baskin-Robbins seems a shadow of its former self too.

Heh.  The long-standing one in my hometown closed decades ago.  I'd say BR has had two declines:  One in its original 31 flavors configuration and since with the BR franchising reboot.

The one near my closed a couple of years ago.  Replacing it is a 4-story assisted living facility.

Sad.

We had a BR near my childhood home. It closed/lost the franchise and became a local ice cream shop which lasted a few years and then I think the whole site was torn down and turned into office space.

There is a Baskin-Robbins that just opened this summer in Platteville, WI. The exisiting Dunkin' was remodeled and the Baskin-Robbins is tied to the Dunkin' store. Had the ice cream once, tastes like ice cream I can get anywhere.

West side of Appleton, WI, it's been there for a few years now, too.  They did have an outlet on the NW edge of the downtown area when I was a kid.

BR pulled out of Green Bay, but recently opened 2 locations at gas stations.
