Some 'chain' oddities in Omaha;
site of first franchised Hu Hot (114th Dodge, since moved to 120th Blondo)
One of the last (if not the last) Lums is (was?) in Bellevue
one of the very last 'original' Dairy Queens was around 18th Broadway in Council Bluffs, I think it's a Jimmy John's now.
Omaha was the home of the short lived, but VERY tasty Barnards (roast beef sandwiches) an exec disgruntled with all the changes at Arbies started Barnard's.
One of my most favorite spots in high school was the Henry's just south of Dodge on 72nd.
There weren't too many Mayberries, the one down the hill from I-680 on Maple Street was quite good, although quite hard to get to
Not really a chain, but as I recall, there were 2 Johnny's Cafes, the original on the east edge of the stockyards, and the second location was west on L street, not too far from where the Sol's Jewelry and Pawn is now.
I remember getting Chicken Delight in Tacoma, WA while visiting relatives in the late 60s, I can't recall if there were any in/around Omaha
We went to Howard Johnsons on west Broadway in Council Bluffs precisely once when I was a kid. Dad hated it and forbid the family from ever going again

The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
