Their T.V. ads featured an attractive woman in a 1776 "Betsy Ross" style costume. The restaurant had a design and menu similar to Burger Chef and Burger King. According to some sources, the chain went out of business in the early 1980s. Starting in 1981, the Proyce family decide to withdraw from the fast food industry and refocus their efforts in casual dining restaurant and bar industry through the conversion of two of the company owned Yankee Doodles in Elmhurst and Arlington Heights into the new Bailey's Restaurant & Bar concept while closing the rest of the fast food operations. Eventually a total of four Bailey's Restaurant & Bar were opened by 1988. The last remaining Bailey's Restaurant & Bar (as of Aug. 2020) is at 17731 Oak Park Ave. #A, Tinley Park, Illinois (en)
