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
"Reader's 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.
