If you don’t know what a Red Barn looks like, there’s a clue in the name! The fast food chain’s restaurants were massive, barn-shaped building, painted bright red. After opening, the design proved very popular, as costumers could never mistake the Red Barn for any other restaurant in the area! Plus, they were easily spottable from the highway!

During the Red Barn’s heyday, it had at least 400 locations in the United States and abroad. Unfortunately, Red Barn lacked any other real hook beyond being the first major fast food outlet to offer self-service salads. However, there’s still one location left in Racine, Wisconsin, thought its name is now The Farm.
