Marie Callender's, known for its nostalgic charm and savory pies, has faced significant challenges over the years, particularly with a drastic reduction from 138 locations in 2006 to just 23 today. Most locations are within California, with a few in neighboring states. The chain experienced severe hardships following its acquisition by Perkins and subsequent bankruptcies in 2011 and 2019. Despite this, Marie Callender's has managed to maintain a loyal customer base, continuing to operate and adapt its menu, though its presence has diminished significantly in the restaurant landscape.

Despite a significant reduction in locations, Marie Callender's continues to serve nostalgic comfort food, particularly celebrated for its pies, through 23 remaining locations.
Marie Callender began her journey in the 1940s, crafting pies for local restaurants and eventually opened the first official restaurant in 1964 in California.
