How it started

History

The restaurant chain was originally opened and operated by Ted Geiger of WAG Restaurants. The Buck family did not have ownership in the company, but received royalties for the use of their likenesses. The chain expanded to seven locations. However, in October 2008, five of the locations closed, and the chain was taken over by Bodley Buck LLC, an investment company which included siblings Joe and Julie Buck, the children of Jack Buck. After more than 15 years, the franchise closed its final locations on October 31, 2015.
