Arthur Treacher's

Arthur Treacher's Fish and Chips is a fast food seafood restuarant with 177 stores in 2002 which serves fish and chips. Like its main competitor Long John Silver's, Arthur Treachers faced bankruptcy, and the brand has been acquired by Nathan's Famous and is being co-branded with Kenny Rogers[?] and Miami Subs[?].

The chain is named for Arthur Treacher (1894 - 1975), an English character actor who was known as "the perfect butler" for his performances as Jeeves and as a butler in several Shirley Temple films. He served as a spokesman for the restaurant chain in its early years, underscoring the British character of its food.
