In 2002, Wendy's International acquired a 25% stake in the company.[2] The chain, including the Wendy's share, was acquired by two Bay Area "foodies" in early 2010.[3][4]

On December 26, 2016, the company abruptly closed all 15 remaining restaurants in the chain. Its employees were notified of the closure via text message not to come into work because they have ceased all operations.[5][6]
