Perkins is a national diner chain that used to have several locations in the Rochester area. In the late 1990s, they left the area, and some of the restaurants were converted to Denny's. Several years later, a new franchisee came in and built brand new Perkins restaurants with updated decor in Gates, Henrietta, Penfield, and Greece. The locations in Gates and Henrietta were closed in January 2012.
The remaining two locations followed in May. The CEO simply stated that the franchiser had terminated the license agreements for Monroe, Erie, and Niagara. The Henrietta location became the short-lived Opa! Authentic Greek Koozina, followed by the national chain Tilted Kilt (also short-lived); it is now the Henrietta Jeremiah's Tavern.
The Penfield location became Cornerstone Restaurant & Cafe but it was torn down and a Chick-fil-A restaurant is to be built on the site.
