It is fitting that the
old HoJo's should be occupied by a JB's. At one time the JB's
chain was a Big Boy franchisee, and no doubt their restaurants
made a relatively easy move into the old Howard Johnson's
buildings--keeping the same clientele.
I am fairly certain that
Marriott (then the owner of Big Boy) encouraged its Big Boy franchisees
to take over the vacated Howard Johnson's buildings that it had
acquired with the purchased HoJo's. In addition many Coco's and
Carrow's can be found occupying former HJ Restaurants in the
West since both those chains arose from the ashes of Marriott's
Big Boy Restaurants.

Phil Edwards pointed
out that he has discovered that half of the former HoJo's in
Arizona and New Mexico are were occupied by JB's. |
