There was kind of a flurry of "creperies" back in the late 70s, early 80s. Anybody remember The Magic Pan? That was my introduction to crepes.
In the Cincinnati area there was one -- I forget, in a little shopping plaza in Blue Ash or Montgomery? In California, a friend worked at the Beverly Hills one on Brighton Way, and there was one in Woodland Hills or Canoga Park. Anyway, a nice upscale chain that was quite popular, but the story goes that they expanded too rapidly and the bottom fell out. I miss it.
