I think we might have gotten Freddy Fazbear's Pizza and Fredbear's Family Diner facts mixed up!

Found this out and thought I would share this

Most people in the fandom assume Fredbear's Family Diner was the first location to come out in the time line and that Freddy Fazbear's Pizza later branched off from it after the original location closed. But Fredbear's Family Diner being the original location wouldn't sense since the company is called "Fazbear entertainment" meaning Freddy Fazbear's Pizza is the very original location. And this can actually make sense.

Look back at FNaF 2's phone calls starting with Night 5. Phone guy says they're trying to contact the original restaurant "owner". "It's been closed for years though." This is where the misunderstanding happened. The reason why they're contacting the original restaurant owner is because the FNaF 2 location originally was Fredbear's Family Diner and it has been closed for years prior to FNaF 2. They're contacting the original owner due to the fact 5 children have died there (SAVE THEM children) just right after Fazbear Entertainment gained the rights to it. It was either separate from Freddy Fazbear's Pizza when it came out or it was side restaurant from Freddy Fazbear's. The location that was actually left to rot was the original Freddy Fazbear's by what Phone guy says. Phone Guy did say that's where the animatronics came from.

So that means the place that opens in 1973 or so according to Phone Guy's first tape in FNaF 1 were the original Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. Not Fredbear's Family Diner. Then, just like the FNaF 1 clippings state, the 5 children incident happens and closes the location off. (This is before any other tragedies have happened.) Fredbear's Family Diner might have been open while the other location was closed though.

OR, Freddy Fazbear's Pizza and Fredbear's Family Diner were opened at the same time by Fazbear Entertainment, making the two sister locations of each other. Fredbear's ends up closing due to the event that transpires in FNAF 4. So, technically speaking, both Freddy Fazbear's Pizza AND Fredbear's Family Diner were the original restaurants, Fredbear's was just closed and discontinued while Freddy Fazbear was eventually revived as seen in FNAF 2.

FNaF 4 happens in 1987. Fredbear's Family Diner was closed during the time BUT they're locations were used as FNaF 2's & FNaF 4's location.

There's no evidence it takes place in 1987. And you seem to ignore the possibility that FredBear's was bought out by a new company.
