Howard Johnson created an orange-roofed empire of ice cream stands and restaurants that stretched from Maine to Florida and all the way to the West Coast. Popularly known as the "Father of the Franchise Industry;" Johnson delivered good food and prices that brought appreciative customers back for more. The attractive white Colonial Revival restaurants; with eye-catching porcelain tile roofs; illuminated cupolas and sea blue shutters; were described in "Readers Digest" in 1949 as the epitome of "eating places that look like New England town meeting houses dressed up for Sunday." Boston historian and author Anthony M. Sammarco recounts how Howard Johnson introduced twenty-eight flavors of ice cream; the "Tendersweet" clam strips; grilled frankforts and a menu of delicious and traditional foods that families eagerly enjoyed when they traveled.

0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. A Good ReadBy Ken WilliamsA nicely reported story of the times. Because of using magazine and newspaper articles for interviews; it seems a little sanitized. You cant help but to like the Fab 4. Seems like pretty good people. Consider the industry; and negativity of the times; the Beatles were good role models for kids. I realize thats my opinion that others may not agree.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
