I'll add to the pile Wild Willies, Topeka Kansas.

On a similar subject anyone remember the fast food restaurants Cindy's and Judy's? Story goes two of Dave Thomas’ first executives ( and good friends ) left Wendy's soon after it started and both opened chains of restaurants named after their daughters. Both had almost the exact same menu and setup as Wendy's but not the same quality. They were only around a few years in the late 70s.
