What is the name of the fast-food place that Tammy robbed in the 2014 film "Tammy"?

The story behind the answer

In the 2014 film Tammy, the fast-food place Tammy robbed is Topper Jack's. The fictional restaurant is part of Tammy Banks's disastrous opening day: she hits a deer while driving to work, arrives late, and is fired from her job there by her supervisor, Keith.

After discovering that her husband has been unfaithful, Tammy leaves home with her grandmother Pearl. Their trip becomes more chaotic when Pearl ends up in jail. Needing money to secure her grandmother's release, Tammy returns to a local Topper Jack's and stages an awkward robbery while wearing a paper bag as a mask. The scene is deliberately inept and comic rather than a polished crime sequence.

The robbery becomes a recurring problem during the road trip. News reports describe the suspect, the Cadillac towing a jet ski, and the stolen cash and pies. Pearl later persuades Tammy to return the money, but the incident still helps lead to Tammy's arrest. The restaurant name is sometimes written without the apostrophe as “Topper Jacks,” but Topper Jack's is the film's standard styling.
