15 men on the Deadman's chest.

Yohoho in a bottle of rum.

So goes the famed passage from Robert Lewis Stevenson's Treasure Island, the classic tale

First expanding to over a thousand locations, then retreating into bankruptcy in 1998,

before being rescued at sea by fast food juggernaut young brands in 2002, who subsequently

sold it off like a plundered barrel of rum in 2011.
