Arthur Treacher's Fish & Chips is no longer in Missouri but it still has two free-standing locations in Ohio. It once was a large chain across the country. I still recall the one off of 71 Highway in Kansas City, Missouri that used to be behind the once-popular Truman Corners Shopping Center. It was my mother's go-to spot for fish & chips. That was a long time ago.
