I got another "zombie" brand, but i'm not sure if it counts Kids "R" Us. The chain folded in 2003, but the brand is still used on a line of toddler/kids clothing at Babies "R" Us stores.

By definition they aren't 'zombie' brands if they're in use; they just aren't used in the US. Another example is Kenny Rogers Roasters which is wildly popular in Asia but no longer has a stateside presence (the Ontario, CA location closed a few years ago.)

It kind of makes me wonder if any of the well known names that are gone but still operating in other countries will ever make a comeback in the us.
